Hi, All, This old bug is the result of a number of people (including myself) who have installed SAX.pm from CPAN and later attempted to install the Debian libxml-sax-perl. This behavior is discouraged in /usr/share/doc/libxml-sax-perl/README.Debian, but as Etienne points out, this message necessarily comes too late to people in our circumstances.
I did the following, and it might be worth suggesting in README.Debian. First remove the CPAN version without removing any dependencies. I believe the script at: http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_delete_Perl_modules accomplishes this. It must be modified for the correct debian path to perl (/usr/bin/perl). Call the script remove.pl or something and do: # ./remove.pl XML::SAX Once the CPAN version is gone, the libxml-sax-perl package will install. Hope this helps. Of course it doesn't deal with the underlying problems of having a mixed Debian/CPAN perl system.
