Comment 7 for bug 13917

I get the same error as my french friend got:

david@GentileHunter:~$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libxml-sax-perl

And it doesn't matter if I use archive.ubuntu.com or se.archive.ubuntu.com.
I did complete removals between my 4-5 tries to install libxml-sax-perl...
Something smells fishy.(In reply to comment #1)
