https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1234819 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1234819#c2 --- Comment #2 from Ruediger Oertel <ro@suse.com> --- chromium is not using the embedded libxml2 but the system one.
ldd /usr/lib64/chromium/chrome | grep xml libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2 (0x00007f979d895000)
so this simply falls back to updating the system copy. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
