Created attachment 385318 [details] XML schema file libxml2 included with RHEL 5.4 (version 2.6.26-2.1.2.8) throws a "schemas parser error" on an XML schema file (attached) that I believe to be valid: $ xmllint --schema EmulationScriptSchema.xsd emulationscript.xml EmulationScriptSchema.xsd:324: element complexType: Schemas parser error : local complex type: The content type must specify a particle. EmulationScriptSchema.xsd:867: element complexType: Schemas parser error : local complex type: The content type must specify a particle. WXS schema EmulationScriptSchema.xsd failed to compile <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> [...] I downloaded the libxml2 source RPM from Fedora 12 (version 2.7.6-1), re-built it for RHEL 5, and installed it. Afterwards, the error is gone: $ xmllint --schema EmulationScriptSchema.xsd emulationscript.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> [...] Please fix the bug in libxml2 version 2.6, or update RHEL 5 to use version 2.7. The XML schema file and sample XML file are attached. They are taken from the source code of EMANE 0.6.1 by CenGen (http://labs.cengen.com/emane), an open-source wireless network emulator.

Upstream bug 347316 appears to be the relevant fix that needs to be imported into RHEL 5.

Can I please check the status of this? This bug should be very easy to resolve (I've already provided the patch and have been using it successfully for over a month). The latest released package from Red Hat is breaking my software. Thank you.
