I have found this:
The build of the d-i manual also fails on my machine here.
The line which is criticized
<ulink url="&downloadable-file;images/orion5x/network-console/buffalo/kuroboxpro
contains the entity &downloadable-file; which is in the end a chain of several
entities:
&downloadable-file; is "&url-debian-installer;"
&url-debian-installer; is "&disturl;main/installer-&architecture;/current/"
&disturl; is "&url-archive;debian/dists/&releasename;/"
&url-archive; is "http://&archive-mirror;/";
&archive-mirror; is "http.us.debian.org"
If I ommit one entity level of those (no matter which one ! ) the build is
successful again, without any warnings or errors !!!
So my best guess would be that a new version of some tool, which is used for
building the manual (don't know which one exactly), has introduced a check
for the depth of such entity chains and fails if the structure is 5 levels
deep or more.
This would also explain, why I am also unable to build the d-i manual from
March 2013 for example (roughly the revision which was used for the release
of Wheezy). At release time of Wheezy the build had definitely no errors.
Anyway, applying the following patch would result in a successful build again
while leaving the output content unchanged.
Have a Happy New Year
