Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2024-05-16 08:51:49 UTC
According to the linked bug this is fixed in 2.12.7.  In Fedora Rawhide we have 2.12.6.

However the main libxml2 package has not yet been fixed, so I am not keen to
update mingw-libxml2 as then this package would be ahead of libxml2.  Therefore
I'll wait for libxml2 to get fixed first (bug 2280539).
