Package : libxslt
Debian Bug : 1114928
The update for libxslt announced in DSA 5979-1 introduced a regression
while back porting the upstream deterministic generate-id implementation,
which makes the generated IDs may remain in a non-deterministic order.
For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed
in version 1.1.35-1+deb12u3.
For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.1.35-1.2+deb13u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your libxslt packages.
