The html-parser-pm package is a kind of empty package that pulls in one of the perl-version-specific packages html-parser-pmxyz. In your case, xyz=581, IIRC. Do you have, perhaps from an earlier life, html-parser-pm560 or something similar installed? If this is the case, remove it and install html-parser-pm581 instead.
There's indeed a html-parser-pm560 installed, but I can't remove it:
/usr/bin/sudo /sw/bin/fink remove html-parser-pm560

dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of html-parser-pm560:
html-parser-pm depends on html-parser-pm560 (>= 3.27-2) | html-parser-pm580; however:
Package html-parser-pm560 is to be removed.
Package html-parser-pm580 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing html-parser-pm560 (--remove):
dependency problems - not removing
Errors were encountered while processing:
html-parser-pm560
### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't remove package html-parser-pm560
It seems it doesn't want to remove it because html-parser-pm580 is not installed (but html-parser-pm581 is installed!). Should I install html-parser-pm580 and then remove it?
Same advice for any other *-pm560 package that might be around.
There are indeed some additional ones:
i compress-zlib-pm560 1.19-3 Part of the info-zip zlib compression library
i html-parser-pm560 3.27-2 Perl modules that parse and extract info
i perl560-core 5.6.0-2 Core files for perl, v. 5.6.0
i storable-pm560 1.0.14-3 Perl module for persistent data structures, v. 5.6.0
Should I also remove perl560-core and install perl581-core instead?
TIA,
G�rard
