I did a apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade this morning and it
could'nt complete because scrollkeep-update -q dumped core and because
of that none of the other gnome programs that have scrollkeeper in the
postinst are able to install properly.

I did some research and found that it relates to a call in the
libxml2.so library file.
