Description of problem: $ yum install gnash I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/usr/share/gnash/doc/gnash/C/usermanual/doc_authors.xml" /usr/share/gnash/doc/gnash/C/gnash.xml:60: parser error : Failure to process entity writers &writers; ^ /usr/share/gnash/doc/gnash/C/gnash.xml:60: parser error : Entity 'writers' not defined &writers; ^ (plus a ton of similar warnings) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnash-0.8.1-2.fc7 I suppose this could also be a yum bug. Why is it trying to interpret a package's documentation, even if that file is XML? Shouldn't it just stay silent? For reference, this is yum-3.2.5-1.fc7
yum just run the post install scriptlet, as it should. Issue is that it is not quiet, and also the help system in xml (to be seen in yelp, for example) is fully broken. I'll have a look at it.

Sorry for the dupe, but the problem seems to be simply that the appropriate XML files are missing from the package: Note that the following (and more) are missing from the list /usr/share/gnash/doc/gnash/C/usermanual/doc_authors.xml /usr/share/gnash/doc/gnash/C/usermanual/revisions.xml $ rpm -ql gnash /usr/bin/gnash /usr/bin/gparser /usr/bin/gprocessor /usr/bin/gtk-gnash /usr/lib/gnash /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashamf-0.8.1.so /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashamf.so /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashbackend-0.8.1.so /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashbackend.so /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashbase-0.8.1.so /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashbase.so /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashgeo-0.8.1.so /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashgeo.so /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashserver-0.8.1.so /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashserver.so /usr/share/doc/gnash-0.8.1 /usr/share/doc/gnash-0.8.1/AUTHORS /usr/share/doc/gnash-0.8.1/COPYING /usr/share/doc/gnash-0.8.1/NEWS /usr/share/doc/gnash-0.8.1/README /usr/share/doc/gnash-0.8.1/gnash.html /usr/share/doc/gnash-0.8.1/images /usr/share/doc/gnash-0.8.1/images/car_crash.png /usr/share/doc/gnash-0.8.1/images/rtmp.png /usr/share/gnash /usr/share/gnash/GnashG.png /usr/share/gnash/doc /usr/share/gnash/doc/asspec /usr/share/gnash/doc/asspec/C /usr/share/gnash/doc/asspec/C/asspec.xml /usr/share/gnash/doc/asspec/images /usr/share/doc/gnash-0.8.1/images/car_crash.png /usr/share/doc/gnash-0.8.1/images/rtmp.png /usr/share/gnash /usr/share/gnash/GnashG.png /usr/share/gnash/doc /usr/share/gnash/doc/asspec /usr/share/gnash/doc/asspec/C /usr/share/gnash/doc/asspec/C/asspec.xml /usr/share/gnash/doc/asspec/images /usr/share/gnash/doc/asspec/images/car_crash.png /usr/share/gnash/doc/asspec/images/rtmp.png /usr/share/gnash/doc/gnash /usr/share/gnash/doc/gnash/C /usr/share/gnash/doc/gnash/C/actionscript.xml /usr/share/gnash/doc/gnash/C/gnash.xml /usr/share/gnash/doc/gnash/C/images /usr/share/gnash/doc/gnash/C/images/car_crash.png /usr/share/gnash/doc/gnash/C/images/rtmp.png /usr/share/gnash/gnash_128_96.ico /usr/share/info/gnash.info.gz /usr/share/locale/cs/gnash.mo /usr/share/locale/de/gnash.mo /usr/share/locale/es/gnash.mo /usr/share/locale/fr/gnash.mo /usr/share/locale/it/gnash.mo /usr/share/man/man1/gnash.1.gz /usr/share/omf/gnash /usr/share/omf/gnash/asspec-C.omf /usr/share/omf/gnash/gnash-C.omf
It is in fact more broken than that since additionally the omf files are wrong. I'll work upstream to fix omf/scrollkeeper doc handling, in the mean time I will disable omf docs. The html doc should be generated right in the build I am testing, and the documentation should be better anyway.
It is in testing now.

updates-testing version works for me. Feel free to push to stable.
