Description of problem: docbook-simple catalog file seems to be broken Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): docbook-simple-1.1-3.fc9.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ cat conftest.sgml <!doctype book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.2//EN"> <book> <title>test</title> <chapter> <title>random</title> <sect1> <title>testsect</title> <para>text</para> </sect1> </chapter> </book> 2. onsgmls -s conftest.sgml Actual results: onsgmls:/etc/sgml/docbook-slides.cat:15:8:E: CATALOG entries cause loop onsgmls:/etc/sgml/docbook-simple.cat:12:8:E: CATALOG entries cause loop and onsgmls returns with exit code 1. Expected results: No error (which is what I got in F-8 and prior versions) Additional info: This is breaking the build for some documentation that I work on frequently, so would appreciate a fix ASAP. Obviously, docbook-slides is broken the same way --- should I file a separate bug against it?
Thanks for report... no need for separate bug, just if you want better tracking of progress. Will try to find out what's causing that issue ASAP. Just as temporary workaround, remove lines CATALOG /etc/sgml/catalog from /etc/sgml/docbook-slides.cat and /etc/sgml/docbook-simple.cat and everything should be ok. It seems that something got broken during merge review process changes.
Fixed and build in rawhide as docbook-simple-1.1-4.fc10, will do docbook-slides update soon. There were and are more issues with docbook-simple - including issue with updates. Therefore I'm not sure if the F9 update of docbook-simple/docbook-slides is proper solution. Problem is, that postun of old package will remove files installed by new package and will break catalogs. yum reinstall will solve the issue, but I'm not sure what is proper solution for that case. You could try to reproduce the behaviour by yum reinstall docbook-simple and checking rpm -V after that. I see this solution as prevention of update breakage - to move files temporarily to different location - to prevent deleting of them in %postun of previous package. Do you have other idea?
Slides built as docbook-slides-3.4.0-4.fc10. Same issues... Anyway location change should be harmless, will check it.
docbook-simple-1.1-4.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9
docbook-slides-3.4.0-4.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9
Built with location change, works ok, the only issue I found so far is with updating from F-9 to Rawhide - as when updating package the catalogs remain registered - which will cause pointing to nonexisting files... will try to solve that issue in rawhide or next F-9 update. Anyway this change was necessary as the postun of the packages was terribly broken and any update was breaking old installation (as postun removed files from new installed package).
docbook-simple-1.1-4.fc9 and docbook-slides-3.4.0-4.fc9 tagged dist-f9-updates , don't know why it is not closed automatically by bodhi. Closing CURRENTRELEASE.
