I'm on 10.3.9, fink says: "package manager 0.24.7, Distribution version: 0.7.2.rsync". Installing libxml-pm581 worked; I didn't realize that I had to explicitly remove libxml-560 to avoid it failing on update-all. Thanks for the help. Lucas.


In theory, of course, libxml pm560 should build correctly, but sometimes the perl modules for older versions of perl than the systems have issues.

And the modules don't autoreplace (e.g. 560 -> 581) because sometimes a package _does_ need a module built for a specific Perl version.
