Hi,

libxml2 has been updated to upstream 2.12.7 release and the
autopkgtest shows  regressions[1] regarding libxml-libxml-perl:

72s t/35huge_mode.t ....................................
72s 1..5
72s ok 1 - huge mode disabled by default
72s not ok 2 - exception thrown during parse
72s
72s # Failed test 'exception thrown during parse'
72s # at t/35huge_mode.t line 56.
72s # got: ''
72s # expected: anything else
72s not ok 3 - exception refers to entity reference loop
72s
72s # Failed test 'exception refers to entity reference loop'
72s # at t/35huge_mode.t line 57.
72s # ''
72s # doesn't match '(?^si:entity.*loop)'
72s ok 4 - no exception thrown during parse
72s ok 5 - entity was parsed and expanded correctly
72s # Looks like you failed 2 tests of 5.
72s Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
72s Failed 2/5 subtests

It appears that upstream has fixed this issue in 2.0209 with commit
57e712c9[2]. Since we have only 2.0207 in sid, I therefore request to
update this package to the latest upstream release, 2.0210, which
would help unblock the migration of libxml2 to testing.

Control: clone -1 -2
Control: retitle -1 libxml-libxml-perl: FTBFS with libxml2 >= 2.11
Control: retitle -2 libxml-libxml-perl: update to current upstream release
Control: severity -2 normal
Control: tags -2 = trixie sid

Thanks!

This also makes the package FBTFS in sid, therefore I've raised the
severity of the (original) bug report.

Well, actually we have 2.0207+dfsg+really+2.0134-1 in Debian, i.e.
upstream 2.0134; d/changelog reads:


  [ Niko Tyni]
  * Temporarily revert to upstream version 2.0134 while changes
    in external DTD handling are revisited upstream. Thanks to
    Vincent Lefevre for the reports. (Closes: #1005281, #1003810)

with the introduction of libxml2 2.14.x I upgraded the
libxml-libxml-perl version to 2.0207, there also is a 2.0210 version
abvailble.  Please consider updating the upstream version also in Debian.
