Comment 3 for bug 1085690

Unable to remove broken package libxml-libxml-perl using

synaptic or

sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get -f install

after following many clues in other posts hit upon this

cd /
sudo find . -name libxml-libxml*
cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
sudo rm libxml-libxml-perl.*

there were four libxml-libxml-perl.* files in the directory, sorry forgot to write them down.

Anyhow removing those files allowed

sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get -f install

to do their thing
