Actually, the patch applied cleanly, but now the XML no longer validates:

Creating man page apt-get.8
xmlto: input does not validate (status 3)
/home/mdz/src/deb/mine/cvs/apt/doc/apt-get.8.xml:10: element refentry: validity error : Element refentry content does not follow the DTD, expecting (beginpage? , indexterm* , refentryinfo? , refmeta? , (remark | link | olink | ulink)* , refnamediv , refsynopsisdiv? , (refsect1+ | refsection+)), got (CDATA date refmeta refnamediv refsynopsisdiv refsect1 refsect1 refsect1 refsect1 refsect1 CDATA CDATA )
Document /home/mdz/src/deb/mine/cvs/apt/doc/apt-get.8.xml does not validate

If I comment out the <date> tag and its contents, it validates correctly, so
I did that and committed this to CVS.  Thanks.
