Description of problem: docbook2html is busted: $ docbook2html fil.xml jw: There is no frontend called "SGML_BASE_DIR=/usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.6.14/frontends/docbook". If I put --frontend /usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.6.14/frontends/docbook, this particular message disappears, but similar ones for backend, catalog, stylesheet, etc. appear instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): docbook-utils-0.6.14-14.fc9.noarch How reproducible: Always
Strange ... it works correctly for me ... Could you please check: 1)rpm -V docbook-utils 2)rpm -V docbook-dtds 3)grep ^[:space:]*SGML_BASE_DIR[:space:]*=[:space:]* /etc/sgml/sgml.conf | sed s/^[:space:]*SGML_BASE_DIR[:space:]*=[:space:]*// It looks like sed on your machine doesn't remove prefix from SGML_BASE_DIR variable when getting from /etc/sgml/sgml.conf
as grep/sed requirement is obviously missing in docbook-utils package, missing sed/grep package could be the reason why it doesn't work on your machine correctly
Aha, I understand what is wrong now. I had this in my .bashrc: export GREP_OPTIONS="--color=ALWAYS" (In order to also get colour when piping to "less".) So this is my own fault. I'm sorry for the false alert! (And thanks for the quick response.)
I would not call it only your fault and NOTABUG, it could be prevented by using grep --color=never in jw when getting SGML_BASE_DIR from /etc/sgml/sgml.conf file. Will do that RAWHIDE and F-10, I guess as problem was understood and workaround is easy, there is no need to make update for F-9. Tested with exported GREP_OPTIONS="color=ALWAYS", built as docbook-utils-0.6.14-15.fc11, changing resolution to NEXTRELEASE.
