That's very odd, considering that the same version xml-parser-pm581 seems to be available across the board: http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/xml-parser-pm581 If your Fink installation is way out of date then you probably need to update a lot of stuff. "update-all" won't cut it, since it only updates based on the package descriptions currently on your system. Run a "fink selfupdate" and select the rsync method to get new package descriptions. That should move you along. -- Alexander K.
