Thank you for trying to make Unity better. The xpathselect library is dynamically loaded at runtime to provide an exported automated testing and debug interface over D-Bus. It is not a normal part of the functioning of the Unity shell and making it a package dependency of Unity itself would be the wrong thing to do.
A recent change downgraded the associated message from an error to a warning. Unless you're running the automated test suite (unity- autopilot, which _does_ have a package dependency on libxpathselect1.4) this message can be safely ignored. ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1388558 Title: [packaging]Missing dependency to libxpathselect1.4 in Ubuntu 14.04 Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: The following message printed when I run '$ compiz --replace' in the terminal: ````` ERROR unity.debug.interface DebugDBusInterface.cpp:216 Unable to load entry point in libxpathselect: libxpathselect.so.1.4: Can't open shared object file: File not found ````` It seems that Unity(or it's component) depends on this library but however, not installed with unity package. Manually install libxpathselect1.4 package removes that error message.
