Subject: shared-mime-info: Unable to install due to error: "undefined symbol: xmlSaveFormatFileEnc"

Package: shared-mime-info
Version: 0.15-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I just upgraded from woody to testing, and when installing this package
I get the following error text:

 Setting up shared-mime-info (0.15-1) ...
        Warning: program compiled against libxml 206 using older 203
        ***
        * Updating MIME database in /usr/share/mime...
        /usr/bin/update-mime-database: relocation error:
        /usr/bin/update-mime-database: undefined symbol:
        xmlSaveFormatFileEnc
        dpkg: error processing shared-mime-info (--configure):
         subprocess post-installation script returned error exit
        status 127

As a result I am unable to install several packages which depend,
directly or indirectly, on this package.

tag 292922 moreinfo unreproducible
thanks

Hi,

I could not reproduce the bug you reported about shared-mime-data.
Could you send the result of 'ldd /usr/bin/update-mime-database' to
<email address hidden> please? Is it possible that you have another
version of libxml2 lying somewhere?

Many thanks,
piem

You are right - there was a copy in /usr/local/lib. It's fine now,
you can close the bug.
