+Subject: [PATCH] Adjust tests to libxml2-2.9.5
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+libxml2-2.9.5 started accepting empty strings thus
+t/48_reader_undef_warning_on_empty_str_rt106830.t test does not make
+sense anymore and reports a faluire.
+
+This patch skips the test when running against libnxml2 >= 2.9.5.

+CPAN RT#122958
