Xchat upgrade missing packages [solved]

Question

pacman -Sy xchat :
seemed to upgrade ok.
running xchat (from console to get feedback) gives:
xchat: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
xchat fails to run
==
solved by checking dependencies on arch package page
http://archlinux.org/packages.php?id=4265
and updating, those via pacman, too.
(gtk2, openssl, tcl, gtkspell)
shouldnt just running pacman -Sy xchat have sorted this anyways ?
or am i having one of those "duuuuh " moments
