Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
docbook-dtds-1.0-30

How reproducible:
Everytime, see above.

Actual results:
There are packaged symbolic links in docbook-dts pointing to unpackaged files.

Expected results:
Rest of the files also packaged ;-)

Additional info:
Currently, dangling symbolic links are not detected at runtime by rpm - but the 
next generation of rpm is able to (whenever it reaches Rawhide). Nevertheless, 
all files should be packaged to be sane.

I would suggest to %ghost the files, which are currently unpackaged.

This shouldn't hurt (as far as tested on my devel system here) and maybe, the
rm -f /etc/sgml/{x,sg}ml-docbook-?.?-%{version}-%{release}.cat in %postun could 
also be removed (untested, yet).

Tim, ping?
Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2006-10-14 10:17:02 UTC 
Anybody alive? Can we please %ghost the unpackaged files in /etc/sgml/?

Comment 7 Ondrej Vasik 2007-06-20 13:53:04 UTC 
Files touched and ghosted, checked Tim Waugh's comment about 
Failed to removed entry from /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.0-1.0-4.cat
during rpm -Fvh ./RPMS/noarch/docbook-dtds-1.0-5.noarch.rpm in #59133, this
thing is ok with this solution, so I think we can use it.

Closing RAWHIDE, fixed in devel branch.
