The perl-xml-parser package is one of the numerous duplicates perl module packages that entered the community repo when xterminus added his perl repo packages to community. These duplicates have been removed since then, if you find one let us (the TU) know. You should remove perl-xml-parser and install perlxml instead. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list arch@archlinux.org http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
