I completely agree that libxml2 should be reverted to 2.9.1 (I have never used 2.9.2 due to this bug). And IMHO, the new package should probably break libxml-libxml-perl 2.0116+dfsg-4 due to an annoying and useless test of the versions in the Perl module (bug 783610). So, libxml-libxml-perl should be rebuilt against libxml2 2.9.1, which would make bug 783610 no longer appear in most cases. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
