Hello Peter, or anyone else affected,

Accepted libxml-sax-perl into precise-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxml-sax-
perl/0.99+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from
verification-needed to verification-done.  If it does not, change the
tag to verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing
will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: libxml-sax-perl (Ubuntu Precise)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed

** Description changed:

  [rationale]
  libxml-sax-expat-perl has a prerm calling a script from libxml-sax-perl, this script uses SAX.pm which uses Basename for the dirname function. This function is broken at the time the code runs.
  
- This breaks 10.04 to 12.04 upgrades when done without connectivity.
+ This breaks 10.04 to 12.04 upgrades when done without connectivity and
+ may cause breakage in other cases too.
  
  [test case]
  1) Install Ubuntu 10.04 desktop
  2) Update it
  3) Disconnect from the internet
  4) Insert 12.04.1 alternate media
  5) Upgrade
  
  [regression potential]
  Implementation was copy/pasted from that in doc-base, matching perl changes were also copied from what was done in doc-base, so risk of regression should be very low.
  
- 
- In the last day or so, I upgraded Ubuntu from 11.04 to 11.10, then to 12.04. The upgrade to 12.04 was first done using an alternate install CD, then further updates were made from the Internet. A partial upgrade was made after rebooting. This error showed up more than one time before I reported it. The computer is a gBox P4 model around 8-10 years old.

  After installing apt-show-versions, I was able to determine this:
  
  $ apt-show-versions libxml-sax-expat-perl
  libxml-sax-expat-perl/precise uptodate 0.40-2
  
  So the error is a bit of a mystery to me.
