[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#777028: libxml2: #include <unicode/ucnv.h> not found (unicode/ucnv.h)

[Niels Thykier]

Source: libxml2
Version: 2.9.2+dfsg1-3
Severity: serious
Control: affects -1 kde4libs

Hi,

The kde4libs package FTBFS with the following error on mipsel[1]:

"""
make -f kjs/CMakeFiles/kjs.dir/build.make kjs/CMakeFiles/kjs.dir/build
In file included from /usr/include/libxml2/libxml/parser.h:810:0,
                 from ../../kdoctools/xslt.h:4,
                 from ../../kdoctools/meinproc_simple.cpp:4:
/usr/include/libxml2/libxml/encoding.h:31:26: fatal error: unicode/ucnv.h: No such file or directory
 #include <unicode/ucnv.h>
                          ^
compilation terminated.
"""

This seems to becaused by a libxml2 header requiring a header that
does not exist *OR* (more likely) it did not have a dependency for.

This issue is currently blocking an RC bug in kde4libs from migrating
to testing.  Even if the patched version of libxml2 is not targeted
for jessie, please consider prioritising this fix.

Thanks,
~Niels
