Synopsis

perl-XML-SAX and perl-XML-LibXML bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated perl-XML-SAX and perl-XML-LibXML packages that fix various
bugs are available.

Description

XML::SAX is a SAX parser access API for Perl. It includes classes and APIs
required for implementing SAX drivers, along with a factory class for
returning any SAX parser installed on the user's system. XML::LibXML
provides a library for working with XML files.

These updated perl-XML-SAX and perl-XML-LibXML packages provide the
following bug fixes:

• UTF-8 would not be represented correctly by the perl-XML-SAX parser
  because the Unicode version of
  XML::SAX::PurePerl::Reader::switch_encoding_string() used
  Encode::from_to() that did not set the Perl internal UTF-8 flag. This bug
  has been corrected by replacing the use of Encode::from_to() with the use
  of Encode::decode(). (BZ#475250)
  
• When upgrading to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, a later version or
  upgrading the individual perl-XML-SAX-0.14 package to perl-XML-SAX-0.14-6,
  error messages concerning the perl-XML-SAX package would be logged in the
  /root/upgrade.log file. These messages occurred because of a missing file
  or file data within ParserDetails.ini. This file has been restored to the
  perl-XML-SAX and perl-XML-LibXML packages with this update. (BZ#289061,
  BZ#538855, BZ#536819)
  

Warning, both perl-XML-SAX and perl-XML-LibXML packages must be
updated together in one step. Updating these packages separately can result
in the configuration file ParserDetails.ini becoming broken.

All users of perl-XML-SAX and perl-XML-LibXML are advised to upgrade to
these updated packages, which resolve these issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
