If there will be a new libxml2 version, please coordinate with bug 1202053.

Reassigning.
David, could you please submit to SUSE:SLE-12-SP2:Update/libxml2 and SUSE:SLE-15:Update/libxml2 please? :)

Hello, since David is on vacation I will take care of this.
Comment 6 Pedro Monreal Gonzalez 2022-08-29 20:59:17 UTC
For the nokogiri warning, note that both LibXML versions 2.9.{12,14} are ABI/API compatible. Since there is no libxml2 change for Leap 15.4, there is not much we can do from libxml2. A rebuild of the nokogiri package would fix the warning, please contact its maintainer.
