<p>You need to make sure that you have the right variant of the xml-parser-pm
package to match the Perl version for your system. For example, if you're on Panther
you should have <code>xml-parser-pm581</code> rather than

packages are available even when the upstream site has moved them around. Typically
these errors occur when a new upstream version of a package is released, but hasn't
