[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#781232: xmlSafeURI: Fails to unparse URI with empty host part

[Guido Günther]

Package: libxml2
Version: 2.9.1+dfsg1-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

This currently fails on Jessie (from the libvirt-clients package):

    $ virsh -c test:///default uri
    test:/default uri

while on Wheezy/Sid it correctly roundtrips the URI:

    $ virsh -c test:///default uri
    test:///default uri

The reason is that libvirt's virURIFormat invokes xmlSaveURI as shown
here:

    http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=src/util/viruri.c;h=6166c372b048063eebf11a4ba21712784be348d0;hb=HEAD#l252

caused by

0034-xmlSaveUri-incorrectly-recomposes-URIs-with-rootless.patch.

It'd be nice to have this fixed for Jessie since this also breaks
libvirt's testsuite.

Cheers,
 -- Guido
