Thanks for the reply, Martin.

Evidently, I do not have a correctly installed texi2html.  I have no
/sw/bin/texi2html at all, although I do have a /sw/bin/texi2html.texi2html
which is an executable.  I do have /sw/etc/alternatives/texi2html, but the
Finder is unable to show the original, rather offering to "Fix" or "Delete"
it when "Show Original" is chosen.

For that command I receive:

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root  admin  141748 May 12 14:02 /sw/bin/texi2html.texi2html

For this command, I receive:

lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  admin  28 Dec 13  2004 /sw/etc/alternatives/texi2html
-> /sw/bin/texi2html.tetex-base

Here, I receive:

/sw/bin/texi2html.texi2html: perl script text executable

For this command I receive:

/sw/etc/alternatives/texi2html: broken symbolic link to
`/sw/bin/texi2html.tetex-base'

Evidently, texi2html is incorrectly installed.  I have attempted to remove,
and then reinstall, numerous times in the last few days.  Apparently, these
attempts have also failed.  Are there any suggestions regarding how to
proceed now?

I did indeed look, and it is not there.  It was present when I first started
my updates, however, the Finder could not find the original.  It has not
reappeared since the first un-install/re-install.
