Description Lubomir Rintel 2014-10-16 17:31:24 UTC

Description of problem:

xmlcatalog loads the wrong catalog, overwriting the correct one with it:

bash-4.3# XML_DEBUG_CATALOG=1 /usr/bin/xmlcatalog --noout --add public '-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN' /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.1.2/docbookx.dtd /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xmlcatalog

Should not load /etc/xml/catalog!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libxml2-2.9.2-1.fc22.x86_64

Additional info:

You should not call xmlInitializeCatalog() as it loads the default catalog. I think tt's called lazily when needed. However, sometimes it's not desirable, as in xmlLoadCatalog(), where xmlInitializeCatalogData() is used instead.

Comment 1 Lubomir Rintel 2014-10-16 17:36:29 UTC

I've reverted the patch in Rawhide, as it causes corruption to the catalogs only fixable by reinstall and breaks my build: https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/3763/7883763/build.log

Please have a look and eventually fix in a way you prefer.

Thank you.

Comment 2 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 16:22:26 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 12:13:53 UTC

Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
