Description Jim Radford 2008-11-01 11:18:28 UTC
For whatever reason XML::LibXSLT copies and pastes code and structure definitions from XML::LibXML and those definitions (and code) changed from 1.63 to 1.66.

This means that you can (and I do) get corruption and crashes when using mixed versions.  The current versions in fc9 are:

  perl-XML-LibXML-1.66-1.fc9.x86_64
  perl-XML-LibXSLT-1.63-5.fc9.x86_64

perl-XML-LibXSLT should be upgraded to 1.66 and it should explicitly require the appropriate (i.e.the same) version of perl-XML-LibXML as long as this incestuous relationship exists.

A sign that you have incompatible versions is this warning from perl.

  XML::LibXML: unregistering node, while no nodes have been registered?

Another sign is random crashes.
