Bug#293865: libxml2 2.6.16 does not work with DCGUI-QT

[Martin Kotzan]

Package: dcgui-qt
Version: 0.3.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #293865

Hi,

the bug is actually in libdc0. I've used the patch at
http://people.freebsd.org/~markus/stuff/patch-dclib-core-cxml.cpp_2 for
the last few days, it seems to fix the problem.

I can also confirm that the broken package leaves unusable configuration
files.

Since libxml2 is on its way to sarge, should this maybe be fasttracked
in some way?

Patch is attached.
