Description vincenzo.bono 2018-07-10 17:34:23 UTC 
In the latest Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Cerbero fails to build gstreamer-1.0, since libxml2 looks for Python 2.7 developer headers, but only Python 3 developer headers are installed during the bootstrap.

In the recipe, it looks like libxml2 is build without Python in all platforms except Linux. Will send a patch for this.

    libxml2: Don't build Python support, even Linux
    
    libxml2 Python support requires Python 2 develpment headers which we no
    longer install in bootstrap. This fixed build failure on latest Ubuntu
    18.04 LTS. All other platforms already has this support disable.
