a quick followup -- i checked what would happen if i first
uninstalled the libhtml-parser-perl package and a *ton* of other
packages would be removed as well, which i don't want to do.
if i install the newer version from CPAN, can i check if that
version would take precedence? would that be the correct approach
here? thanks.
