Some linux distributions have dropped support for html2text replacing it with a python based solution ... which core dumps and/or produces illegal output. The html2text converter is rather important being used by other converters that first convert to html and then to plain text afterwards. Converting html to text is really not that hard and well supported by a couple of alternatives in case the good old html2text utility isn't available anymore, such as w3m, lynks or links. Each of them is an excellent replacement producing good results.
