Thank you for trying to make Unity better.

The xpathselect library is dynamically loaded at runtime to provide an
exported automated testing and debug interface over D-Bus.  It is not a
normal part of the functioning of the Unity shell and making it a
package dependency of Unity itself would be the wrong thing to do.

A recent change downgraded the associated message from an error to a
warning.  Unless you're running the automated test suite (unity-
autopilot, which _does_ have a package dependency on libxpathselect1.4)
this message can be safely ignored.

** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu)

Title:
  [packaging]Missing dependency to libxpathselect1.4 in Ubuntu 14.04

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  The following message printed when I run '$ compiz --replace' in the terminal:
  `````
  ERROR  unity.debug.interface DebugDBusInterface.cpp:216 Unable to load entry point in libxpathselect: libxpathselect.so.1.4: Can't open shared object file: File not found
  `````

  It seems that Unity(or it's component) depends on this library but
  however, not installed with unity package.

  Manually install libxpathselect1.4 package removes that error message.
