That doesn't make any sense as a solution (and won't be viable in
general, becuase users may have many other packages that Depends on
glib-pmXXX). Maybe removing extutils-depends-pmXXX? You appear to have
ancient stuff installed (-pm581 on a system that doesn't have or
support perl5.8.1, even via fink). OTOH, it's weird that a -pm581
library (see directory path given in the error msg) would be visible
at all to a -pm588 one. Would be useful to see the command that was
run (the perl call to Makefile.PL), and also to know if there is
something weird in in your shell that would mix perl-versions (or the
wrong perl interp being called).
