Leo,

Well... I'm currently working on what *might* be a bug in the upstream LDM 
database module (I'm not convinced, but some additional testing is necessary). 
Hopefully I'll complete that this week and can start removing the "libxml2" 
subpackage next week.

Maybe by the end of next week? The version will probably be 6.11.5.

WARNING! WARNING! The above estimates are based on the SWAG (Scientific 
Wild-Ass Guess) methodology. Any relationship between them and reality is 
strictly coincidental!

Does this work for you?
