shared-mime-info-native-0.51-r0 still fails (libxml2 error)

Hi all!

I guess this problem should long be solved, but I'm still running into this issue. I started today with a fresh install of KUbuntu 8.10 on my new system and a fresh checkout of the openembedded git-repository. Executing 'bitbake beagleboard-demo-images' results in:

NOTE: Running task 778 of 6737 (ID: 3649, /workspace/projekte/oe/openembedded/packages/shared-mime-info/shared-mime-info-native_0.51.bb, do_compile)

And the following error in the log:

Full error log is attached.

I've also applied the patch mentioned in [1], but that didn't help (also did a bitbake -c clean for both libxml2 and shared-mime-info-native).
The same already happened on two other systems on which I tried to build the image, including another kubuntu 8.10 and a kubuntu 8.04 server-edition. The only system not showing this problem so far was a kubuntu 8.04 (non-server).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Stefan
