 Log Message:
 py-libxml2: work around a problem in error handling
 
 Restore part of a patch lost in the last libxml2 update which is still
 relevant. Reapplying it fixes segfaults caused by itstool, e.g., when
 building editors/pluma, which is PR pkg/56229 from Andrius V.
 
 Quoting from wiz@'s original commit from Jan 9, 2019, which covers
 everything else:
 
 "In some cases, invalid UTF-8 strings were returned which caused
 Python interpreter crashes. See
 
 itstool/itstool#22
 
 Use a variant of the patch that was used in Fedora.
 
 Bump PKGREVISION."
 
 Fedora is still carrying this patch as-is.
 
 (Also, evidently distinfo was not regenerated properly after the last
 update, so there's a diff applied to it unrelated to this change set.)
