OK, that made Fink happy to remove it, but then when I ran sudo apt-get -f install, I got Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 1 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used. Setting up xml-sax-pm586 (0.15-2) ... /sw/var/lib/dpkg/info/xml-sax-pm586.postinst: line 10: 658 Bus error /sw/sbin/update-perl586-sax-parsers --add XML::SAX::PurePerl So, because your above suggestion worked out so well, I removed the files I found whose names began with "xml-sax" and contained "pm586" in "/sw/var/lib/dpkg/info". Now sudo apt-get -f install seems to run with the expected results. Was that a bad thing to do? I have a Time Machine backup, should you suggest I put them back. Thanks.
