Bug Description

Binary package hint: libxml2

In libxml 2.6.29 in gutsy, using the XSLT copy element causes the folllowing error:

runtime error: file /home/mjg/[...]/web/style/default.xslt line 306 element copy
Attribute nodes must be added before any child nodes to an element.

Eg:

  <xsl:template match="@*|html:*">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

This is fixed apparently in 2.6.30, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=300675

Downgrading to libxml2 2.6.27 from fiesty also fixes the problem.

2.6.30 is in Debian, so someone would have to file an upstream version freeze exception and provide a debdiff for the merge to get this into Gutsy.

- set back to "confirmed"

After installing the packages above I can't reproduce the error. Then, after dowgrading back to 2.6.29.dfsg-1ubuntu1 the error reappears, so it seems that 2.6.30.dfsg-2ubuntu1 fixes it.
