Package: xmlto
Version: 0.0.18-4
Severity: normal

      Hi all.  I have been having trouble with PDF generation from a
  DocBook XML file which contained an `amp´ entity in a `url´ attribute
  in a `ulink´ element.  For instance, the following input shows the
  problem:

--8<--
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE article
	PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
	"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd"; [
]>
<article lang="en">
	<para>
		XXX <ulink url="http://host/script.cgi?arg1=val1&amp;arg2=val2";></ulink> XXX
	</para>
</article>
--8<--

      That was a perfectly valid XML DocBook file (in fact, the
  conversion to HTML gives the pretended link).  However, running `xmlto
  pdf test.xml´ yields the following output:

      This might be a problem in FO generation or TeX generation.  Maybe
  the bug should be assigned to xmltex or passivetex; however, my
  knowledge of the xmlto toolchain is insuficient for me to decide.

  Thanks,
      Ivan

Simply calling xmlto causes a build failure b/c passivetex is not
available any more. When using dblatex to create the pdf file the
build runs fine. Not sure where in the chain the bug was fixed, but
it is now. Closing.

PassiveTeX is needed for this format, but it is not installed. Please install
the passivetex package.
