Summary: Packman crashes with garbage database

Initial Comment:
Packman crashes when you feed it a random HTML 
document, in stead of giving a decent error message.

Fixed in PackageManager.py rev. 1.13. I'll be filing another bug 
report for plistlib later (where the real fix should be, I think).

The 2.3b2-2 installer may have improved this some (I'm not sure). Most incorrect URLs I tried gave a nice explanatory error message. However, the url "http://python.org/packman" reliably gives a traceback. Here's an example:
