Having both is fine:  storable-pm is just a placeholder package that points
to storable-pm560.  Everything should be referencing the 560 version.

Originally storable-pm was the actual Storable: package for Perl 5.6.0, but
when Fink added facilities for other Perl versions the 560 and 561 variants
were created.

Remind me:  did I suggest doing "apt-get update storable-pm" (no 560) yet?

I get: "Sorry, storable-pm560 is already the newest version."  So i 
guess i've got 2 versions of storable-pm installed.  I tried to delete 
the generic model, but dselect wouldn't let me [dependencies, i believe 
it was fink itself.]  @ this point, i don't know that any programs here 
are using the 560 model
