Comment 1 Murray Cumming 2013-10-21 08:18:43 UTC
This was caused by a change in libxml behaviour. This commit in Glom fixes it:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/glom/commit/?h=glom-1-22&id=6f01d7d8f79cd127418c2a4b234de670225fb71a


There are other fixes in the glom-1-22 branches, so it would be best to just update the package with the latest bugfix release (glom 1.22.3)


A couple of Fedora users reported this upstream:

Does anyone know what we can do to get the Glom package updated?
