[Bug 1164475] [NEW] Missing dependency (libxml2) in raring

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Robie Basak (racb):

bind9 uses libxml2 for one of it's optional features (namely statistics-
channel)

In bind9 source package on raring, I see that it depends on libxml2-dev.
However, none of the resulting binary packages list libxml2 as the dependency, thus I think it may result in a system which have bind9 and haven't the  required  libxml2.

In this case, bind will run, but statistics-channel (i.e. http
interface) will not work.

on precise bind9 depends on libisc83 which depends on libxml2 (>=2.7.4)
on raring bind9 depends on libisc92 instaed, which does not list libxml2 as dependency, and thus afaik no bind9 package lists libxml2 as dependency.

I see in  my log:
Apr  2 13:39:23 localhost named[22578]: statistics-channels specified but not effective due to missing XML library
and indeed statistics is not working.

(I have not much experience and thus my assumptions above may be wrong,
excuse me if so).
