ADT failure if libxml-simple-perl chosen instead of libxml-libxml-perl

[Dan Bungert]

libimage-info-perl contains the following dependency declaration:

Depends: ... libxml-libxml-perl | libxml-simple-perl

If libxml-libxml-perl is installed at time of autopkgtest, everything is fine.

If libxml-libxml-perl is not installed, then:
414s # Can't locate XML/LibXML/Reader.pm in @INC (you may need to install the XML::LibXML::Reader module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.36.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.36 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36 /usr/share/perl/5.36 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/share/perl5/Image/Info/SVG/XMLLibXMLReader.pm line 21.

To address this, the dependency list should change to say libxml AND simple. The justification for that is based on code inspection of l/I/I/S/XMLLibXMLReader.pm, which says:

use XML::LibXML::Reader;
...
require XML::Simple;

The package TODO also mentions the XML::Simple dependency, so if that reference were dropped then the depends list could likely be reduced to libxml-libxml-perl excluslively.

This bug was fixed in the package libimage-info-perl - 1.44-1ubuntu1

---------------
libimage-info-perl (1.44-1ubuntu1) noble; urgency=medium

  * d/control: Declare a dependency on both libxml-libxml-perl and
    libxml-simple-perl, as both are referenced from
    l/I/I/S/XMLLibXMLReader.pm. (LP: #2051970)
