<BR>
I removed and replaced with a version from testing, this also required a config file update.<BR>
<BR>
I'd be happy to close this bug if the package is updated to depend on an exact version of xerces, so nobody else falls for this.<BR>

Ongoing Xerces-C transition. Xerces-C 3.1 was uploaded to unstable, which<BR>
changes the namespace for all Xerces-C objects, so the Shibboleth stack<BR>
has to be rebuilt. Unfortunately, there isn't a good way to make that<BR>
transition cleanly, since the API of the underlying Shibboleth libraries<BR>
changes based on what version of Xerces-C they're built against.<BR>
<BR>
Two of the dependent libraries have been rebuilt and there are two more to<BR>
go. In the meantime, you'll want to use the versions from testing.<BR>
