Seems the FTBFS also happens with other archs when rebuilding for precise.

[Ricardo Salveti (rsalveti)]

This was fixed in Debian in ruby-libxml/2.2.2-1.

[Ricardo Salveti (rsalveti)]

Latest version from Debian is also available at Ubuntu already, so guess would need to check if it can fully replace this package and remove it from the archive.

Fixed in quantal.
