Bug#565681: libxml-sablot-perl: Process() crashes due to incorrect parameter checking
Package: libxml-sablot-perl
Version: 1.0-2+b1
Severity: important
XML::Sablotron::Process currently always fails with the error message
4-th argument to SablotProcess has to be ARRAYREF
due to incorrect parameter checking.
My patch disables the incorrect error checking:
http://www2.futureware.at/~philipp/sablot/Sablotron.xs.patch
I was told that the check should look something like this instead:
if (!( SvROK(params) && (SvTYPE(params) == SVt_PVAV)))
Unfortunately the original author is currently unreachable, so it might
take months to get it fixed on CPAN.
