Bug#517472: libxml-libxml-perl: Missing versioned dependency on libxml2 - Causes runtime warnings

[Sven Mueller]

Package: libxml-libxml-perl
Version: 1.66-1+b1
Severity: normal

On a system only partially upgraded to lenny (from etch), XML::LibXML causes
the following warning upon each invocation:
Warning: XML::LibXML compiled against libxml2 20632, but runtime libxml2 is older 20627

While it doesn't really cause any error, this caused the relevant system to
emit a new email every 5 minutes due to an otherwise silent cron job (which
was fhem2rrd.pl). Quite annoying to find that many mails in your inbox from
a system that runs quite fine in any other way ;-)

Please either suppress the warning (unless it is actually relevant), or add a
versioned dependency against the version of libxml2 you built against.

Regards,
Sven
