The pkg is no longer available as of yesterday. It was unceremoniously 
de-installed during the 'pkg upgrade -y', w/ no reasons given. I still 
have it in my ports tree, but I usually use pkg exclusively for package 
maintanance, with the solitary exception of flash support. I could 
obviously recreate paraview from the ports tree, but I was curious why 
it got deleted from the pkg-repo.
