Did you try editing ParserDetails.ini

What I do not understand is why koha is requiring to modify such a global configuration file. Is this setup really still required ? Were not the bugs from the expat filter fixed ? I do not know at all why this parser is/was needed, but Expact seems to work for the test case in koha scripts : vdanjean koha/misc$ ./sax_parser_print.pl XML::SAX::Expat=HASH(0x115c4f0) vdanjean koha/misc$ ./sax_parser_test.pl é vdanjean koha/misc ) By the way, this kind of requirement is really a bad thing (with my hat of trying to make a official Debian package) => it will be NOT possible at all that the koha package modifies the global configuration file. However, I really do not understand why, if the SAX parser is really needed, it is not required in the koha code itself. For example, I tried to add as the first line in sax_parser_print.pl and sax_parser_test.pl the line: $XML::SAX::ParserPackage = "XML::LibXML::SAX"; (tip found in the doc of XML::SAX::ParserFactory) Without changing my global configuration file, sax_parser_print.pl now report XML::LibXML::SAX. I failed to see where koha really instantiate a sax parser. 'rgrep "use XML::SAX" koha/' does not return anything (but sax_parser_print.pl and sax_parser_test.pl). Perhaps, koha gurus can know where SAX parser are used and add the line requesting the particular parser if it is still needed ?
