Bugzilla Bug 17698

The build-docbook-catalog-4.2 script in the files directory, is exactly the
same
as build-docbook-catalog-4.1.2. This script is designed to add the docbook
entries to the general catalogs in /etc/xml. Of course, when installing 4.2
version, the script (which is called from the ebuild thanks to pkg_postinst())
tries to add entries of 4.1.2 files, which is incorrect, and may fail if 4.1.2
files aren't installed.
I have rewritten the build-docbook-catalog-4.2 script to match the new docbook
version. It seems to works properly, having or not 4.1.2/4.1.2-r3 installed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge the current app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.2, which is actually marked as
unstable.


Actual Results:  
look at the output, it may have this :
>>> /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.2/calstblx.dtd

find: /usr/share/xml: No such file or directory
could not locate docbookx.dtd for DocBook XML
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...

Expected Results:  
>>> /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.2/calstblx.dtd

Found DocBook XML 4.2 DTD in /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.2
Found ISO DocBook entities in /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.2/ent
Found DocBook XSLT stylesheets in

new build-docbook-catalog-4.2 script

Here is the new build-docbook-catalog-4.2 script.

Just reporting that I had success with the fix, 
http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=9525&action=view

Thanks.

okay, after i've had some recent investigations into docbook-xml-dtd i think
this is valid, and we also need to version the build-docbook-catalog script, as
the versions are slotted.

cc'ing me.

Better fix is in bug 52725, which rewrites the build-docbook-catalog script to
be version independent

As aron mentioned, this is fixed with his build-docbook-catalog script and bug
#52725, so we're over there now.
