Re: Location of entities



Hi Stewart,

This is (probably) a bug in sgml-data, as that package should create
symlinks instead of empty directories.

Check to see that that sgml-data does indeed install these entities
(probably now under /usr/share/xml). If it does, then file a bug report
against sgml-data for a policy violation, because of the broken 
compatibility symlinks.

In the meantime, try changing the empty into a symlink that points to
the correct entities under /usr/share/xml, and everything should then
work properly.

Cheers,
Mark
