Arch Linux

Description:

Updating to libxml2 2.9.3-2 breaks at least feedparser library due to the addition of python3 bindings.


Steps to reproduce:

To reproduce run this piece of python code:

import feedparser
import urllib.request
f = urllib.request.urlopen("https://planet.archlinux.org/rss20.xml")
print(feedparser.parse(f))

It prints the planet arch rss feed before 2.9.3-2, but with 2.9.3-2 errors out:

Traceback (most recent call last):
