Please unblock package jemalloc, a key package ("reason: popcon").
The upstream package uses xsltproc to convert a docbook XML to HTML for
its documentation. Due to an omission, docbook-xml was not in the build
dependencies, which caused xsltproc to fetch a file (docbookx.dtd) from
the network if the network was available, and otherwise warn or in some
cases fail entirely and FTBFS. This constitutes a policy violation
(section 4.9), and was filed as a severity: serious bug, #985971.
Adding a dependency on docbook-xml addresses the issue as confirmed
locally with strace and a no-network build. The buildd logs seem to
confirm this as well, as there were warnings before, and no warnings
issued now.
The fix was simple enough (source debdiff below) and so I've already
made the upload to unstable.
unblock jemalloc/5.2.1-3
Thanks,
Faidon
