During a recent package review a notice this (very old) singularity
pci (from php-pear-PHP-CompatInfo) could reports the need for the xml
extension (often because of utf8_encode / utf8_decode functions)
XML is a buildtin extension, so provided by php-common
$ php -n -m | grep -i xml
libxml
SimpleXML
xml
The php-xml sub-package provides some additional XML related extensions
dom
wddx
xmlreader
xmlwriter
xsl
So, a lot of package (web apps) are probably requiring php-xml when it
is not really needed.
Just a notice,
I don't think we have to fix this.
Remi.
