p5-XML-SAX-Base was installed before re-installing p5-XML-Sax, which
would have installed the required file but reinstalling  don't recall
exactly what order it was installing them in, unfortunately. I thought
it installed Base first, but it would have done so before XML-SAX
deleted the file when deleting the old p5-XML-SAX. Remember, it was in
the packing list for the old version.

Now that the damage was done, re-installing Base restored the missing
file and p5-XML-SAX no longer tried to delete it. No real reason to
de-install Base. Simply re-installing it would have done the job.
