Dependencies version restriction are different for libxml2 in conda-forge channel and package metadata:

• libxml2 >=2.11.5,<3.0.0a0 in conda-forge channel

I guess this is related to the incompatibility discussed in https://github.com/conda-forge/libhwloc-feedstock/pull/72

Thank you @jan-janssen for the quick response. It may be related, but more important question, how is it possible to have out of sync in metadata? Package was uploaded 4 month ago last time

I feel this is a misunderstanding. The libhwloc package was assumed to be compatible to libxml2 >=2.11.5,<3.0.0a0 this is why we added this in the meta.yaml file. In conda-forge libxml2 was fixed to 2.11. As this central fix was updated to 2.12 this broke the tests https://github.com/conda-forge/libhwloc-feedstock/pull/71 . To my understanding this is fixed in libhwloc=2.10 that is why I would like to merge https://github.com/conda-forge/libhwloc-feedstock/pull/72 .

In summary the statement libxml2 >=2.11.5,<3.0.0a0 is wrong, as it was not possible to update to 2.12.
