Description Petr Pisar 2017-09-20 15:14:19 UTC
libxml2-2.9.5 pushed into Fedora ≥ 27 introduced a bug that prevents perl-XML-LibXML package from building. libxml2's upstream fixed it with this commit:

commit 3157cf4e53c03bc3da604472c015c63141907db8 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)

    Report undefined XPath variable error message
    
    Commit c851970 removed a redundant error message if XPath evaluation
    failed. This uncovered a case where an undefined XPath variable error
    wasn't reported correctly.
    
    Thanks to Petr Pisar for the report.
    
    Fixes bug 787941.

It would be great if you applied it to Fedora. If don't have time, I can do it.
