This seems wrong; as you can see from
<http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libxml-parser-perl>
this package depends on perlapi-5.12.3, not perlapi-5.10.0.
Please could you post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list
and the output of

apt-cache policy libxml-parser-perl

If you really wanted to remove liblocale-gettext-perl you could
install debconf-english instead, but that's probably not the best
approach here.
