Comment 13 for bug 296605

ok, sorry for not being verbose enough, but you could have checked which ubuntu versions had new uploads of libxml-simple-ruby, and the changelog clearly explained that it fixes this bug.

anyway, I don't know if it will be fixed in Intrepid, or Jaunty, or anything older, but it is fixed for Karmic. I don't contribute to directly to Ubuntu, so I won't be of any help with SRUs/backports. sorry.
