[scdb] cannot read XML notifiers in seiscomp 5 (it works in seiscomp 6)

[luca-s]

I created a xml notifier file with scdispatch:

scdispatch -i event.xml -O merge --create-notifier > notifier.xml

When I try to apply the changes with scdb, it fails in reading the notifier.xml file:

$scdb -i notifier.xml
Parsing file 'notifier.xml'...
Error: no valid object found in file 'notifier.xml'

The issue is on Seiscomp 5. If I try to run scdb with Seiscomp 6 (same input file) it works.

Do you know already what can be the source of the issue? Was there a commit for this particular error? I would like to backport the fix.

I have backported the fix, see deb4289. Give it a try and we will release a new 5 version.

Thank you @gempa-jabe the fix works!
