SpecialUpload.php can't find XmlTypeCheck

[Christian Ashby]

Binary package hint: mediawiki

When enabling SVG support according to the instructions here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_Administration#SVG

The error:

Fatal error: Class 'XmlTypeCheck' not found in /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/SpecialUpload.php on line 1211

Occurs when uploading SVG images. XmlTypeCheck doesn't exist in the includes/ directory, or anywhere in the mediawiki package.

This is in Hardy with mediawiki version: 1:1.11.2-2ubuntu0.3

I can confirm this as well in Hardy. Very annoying.

FWIW,

I thought maybe this problem was due to missing a package like php5-xmlrpc or php5-xsl, but I didn't want to risk testing on our production 1.11.2 MediaWiki system.

So I hacked up a quick VM with Ubuntu, and did apt-get install mediawiki. I configured the wiki and tested the SVG upload. However, this time it worked! The version of mediawiki I got was 1.13.3 . Those aforementioned php packages are not installed.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for confirming, that this has been fixed in recent versions of MediaWiki. Marking as such.
