Re: Bug#189129: acknowledged by developer (Re: xmlto doesn't like docbook V4.1)

I've removed the CC to an obsoleted/closed bug.  Lets have this
conversation openly on the user SGML/XML list.

Ahem -- it is:

> ls -l /etc/xml/docbook-xml.xml 
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         6334 Feb 15 14:05 /etc/xml/docbook-xml.xml

Also: 

> dpkg -s docbook-xml | grep ^Depends
Depends: sgml-data (>= 1.7.2), symlinks, xml-core (>= 0.05), sgml-base (>= 1.17)

As you see, docbook-xml depends on xml-core.  I don't see how you have
the docbook-xml package installed and not xml-core, unless your system
is pretty broken.

Are you still having problems?  If so, please install the lastest
(unstable) versions of docbook-xml and let me know what you get when
you do this:

  dpkg -l docbook-xml sgml-data xml-core

Also:

  ls -l /etc/xml/
  echo $XML_CATALOG_FILES

And finally:

  xmllint --nonet --valid --noout <failing_file>
