A small surmountable problem with xml-sax-pm ...

The pakage was installed as a dependancy for xml-simple-pm, from
current-unstable. The problem was a mkdir command while installing the
.deb ...

Selecting previously deselected package xml-sax-pm.
(Reading database ... 13824 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking xml-sax-pm (from .../xml-sax-pm_0.12-2_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...
mkdir: /sw/etc/xml/SAX/ParserDetails.d: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing 
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/libs/perlmods/xml-sax-pm_0.12-2_darwin-powerpc.deb
(--install):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
 Errors were encountered while processing:

  ### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
  Failed: can't install package xml-sax-pm-0.12-2

I manually created /sw/etc/xml and /sw/etc/xml/SAX, then re-ran the
install for xml-simple-pw, which worked fine this time ..

dpkg -i
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/libs/perlmods/xml-sax-pm_0.12-2_darwin-powerpc.deb
(Reading database ... 13867 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking xml-sax-pm (from .../xml-sax-pm_0.12-2_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...
Setting up xml-sax-pm (0.12-2) ...
update-perl-sax-parsers: adding Perl SAX parser module info file of 
XML::SAX::PurePerl...
update-perl-sax-parsers: updating overall Perl SAX parser modules info file...

So, somewhere there is an assumption that /sw/etc/xml/SAX will exist
before xml-sax-pm is installed, which apears to be wrong.
