Sorry for the delay in responding...
I did have XML::SAX installed from CPAN. Removing that allowed apt-get
to install libxml-sax-perl.
Thanks,

The shutdown/reboot was also hanging on my Acer Travelmate 290 laptop.
I'm running Hardy Heron 8.04. After reading this thread, I tried a few

acpi=force nolapic
I can now (knock on wood) shutdown and restart properly.
