Unfortunately, libxml2-2.9.0+dfsg1-2 from experimental does not build on Quantal (see attached log). Also, libxml2 has a lot of reverse-depends so the new version of that will need an FFe and I'd feel more confident if we did a test rebuild of its rdeps to make sure the new version doesn't break anything.
Alternatively (and I will explore this next), since the 2.8.0 ftbfs is due to a test failure, perhaps we can fix, workaround, or ignore that test for Quantal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libxml2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1056820 Title: feedparser ftbfs in quantal, test suite failures Status in “feedparser” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “libxml2” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “feedparser” source package in Quantal: Confirmed Status in “libxml2” source package in Quantal: New Bug description: see http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20120922-quantal.html ====================================================================== ERROR: test_002205 (__main__.TestEncodings) ./tests/encoding/bozo_double-encoded-html.xml: utf-8 interpreted as iso-8859-1 and re-encoded as utf-8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "./feedparsertest.py", line 587, in <lambda> self.failUnlessEval(xmlfile, evalString) File "./feedparsertest.py", line 148, in failUnlessEval env = feedparser.parse(xmlfile) File "/build/buildd/feedparser-5.1/feedparser/feedparser.py", line 3895, in parse saxparser.parse(source) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/drv_libxml2.py", line 176, in parse SAXException("Read failed (no details available)")) File "/build/buildd/feedparser-5.1/feedparser/feedparser.py", line 1836, in fatalError raise exc SAXException: Read failed (no details available) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/feedparser/+bug/1056820/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
