FYI: This was discussed  on the mailing list [1] it's about RHEL6 but it's the same issue.

Hi Jeff

Sorry to post on a closed issue, but I'm facing the same issue as well, and did not want to create another duplicate (bugzilla says I am not authorized to access bug #1099639 - Why ?).

The error occurs both on my local dev box (Ubuntu 14.04 / publican 3.2.1) as well as on a server where I have automated builds setup (Ubuntu server 10.04 / publican 0.99).

Looking at the apt history log since the last successful build, it appears that libxml2 library was upgraded, which I guess confirms this is indeed the same issue described in the mailing list post you referenced above:

Start-Date: 2014-05-15  15:17:00
Upgrade: python-libxml2 (2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.10, 2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.11), libxml2 (2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.10, 2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.11), libxml2-utils (2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.10, 2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.11)
End-Date: 2014-05-15  15:17:04

For the benefits of other users, I fixed the problem by downgrading libxml2 to the previous version:

# apt-cache show libxml2 |grep Version
Version: 2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.11
Version: 2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1
# apt-get install libxml2=2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1
# echo libxml2 hold |dpkg --set-selections

I don't know why that bug had limited access, I removed the limit.

Thanks for the work around.

Jeff,

#1105011 is also restricted access...

For those interested, the libxml2 bug has been patched in Ubuntu, see
