ok, perhaps its just me, but i'm annoyed.  the problem is NOT what
appears here, afaict.  once i finally gave up and downloaded the
libxmltok1-dev_1.1-8 package and tried to dpkg -i install it, i got an
error that MUCH more clearly stated that i HAD libxmltok1_1.1-9
installed and i couldn't install the 1.1-8 -dev version.  sure enough,
this was the case.

am i just reading the above error message wrong, or does everyone else
think that it is trying to say that it is trying to install
libxmltok1-dev_1.1-9 and that it cannot do so because libxmltok1 is only
at 1.1-8?
