[SOLVED] perl-xml-sax upgrade breaks perl-xml-libxml

Specifically, if you try to run any program that uses XML::LibXML, you get this noise:

% perl -c xml.pl
Can't locate XML/SAX/Exception.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/XML/LibXML.pm line 1932.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/XML/LibXML.pm line 1932.
Compilation failed in require at xml.pl line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at xml.pl line 7.

It looks like the update to the XML::SAX package moved some stuff out to XML::SAX::Base. I have prepared that package and uploaded it to the AUR to help anyone who might need it. Hope this is helpful.

Ah, thanks for those links. I should have checked for bugs and I'll work with those. All the same, XML::SAX::Base is looking like a more and more necessary package for some of the stuff that's in the official repos.

I just moved perl-xml-sax-base to the extra repo as new dep of perl-xml-sax.
Thanks for your help.
