Package: libxml2
Version: 2.12.7+dfsg+really2.9.14-2.2
Severity: important

After the upgrade of libxml2 in unstable, xmllint with both --valid
and "--relaxng ..." yields "Relax-NG validity error : ID ... redefined"
errors. With just one of them (i.e. either DTD validation or Relax-NG
validation), the document validates. So this is obviously a bug (and
there were no such errors before the upgrade).

Note: the other options I'm using are
  --nonet --noout --noent --xinclude --loaddtd --dtdattr

I could provide a simple testcase the week-end if need be (the
XML document and associated files are a bit complex).

At the same time, I think I should also be able to test it on Android
to see if this is specific to Debian.
