[DRE-maint] Bug#676210: ruby-libxml: FTBFS: tests failed

[Cédric Boutillier]

Package: ruby-libxml
Version: 2.3.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #676210
Control: reassign -1 libxml2 2.8.0+dfsg1-5
Control: affects -1 ruby-libxml
Control: retitle -1 xmlreader fails to report parsing failures, causing ruby-libxml test failure
Control: tag -1 patch

Hi!

As documented in the upstream bug report,
  https://github.com/xml4r/libxml-ruby/issues/43
Tests are passing with libxml2 2.7.8.
I found that the commit in libxml2 causing the failure is 
  http://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=9d9685ad88c17d35b6688695af3ceba7c7309b13
which has been modified later just after 2.8.0 release by
  http://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=c508fa3f0b40ba232e00ed8d514e0ba37ed602ab

Cherry-picking this commit and putting on top of 2.8.0 solves the
problem.

I converted this commit to a quilt patch with proper DEP-3 header.
Please consider include this patch in the current patch series.

Cheers,

Cédric
