Title:
xmllint --xinclude --postvalid broken by CVE-2014-0191 fix
Status in “libxml2” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The fix for CVE-2014-0191 changed the parser to not load external
entities unless in noent or validating mode. Unfortunately, this
breaks "xmllint --xinclude --postvalid" when (for example) validating
docbook files, and as a result this breaks the build for a number of
distro packages.

Temporary solution is to downgrade:
