Bug 126967 – emerge sys-apps/hal-0.5.5.1-r3 (and others) fails building documentation

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chase Venters 2006-03-20 07:58:16 UTC]

Greetings,
   I'm having problems emerging a number of packages, including sys-apps/hal-0.5.5.1-r3 and quite a few others as well. The problems all seem to be related to building documentation (that is, USE="-doc" allows the emerge to complete successfully).
   The fatality:

/usr/bin/docbook2html --nochunks hal-spec.xml -o .
Using catalogs: /usr/share/sgml/dtd/sgmltools/catalog, /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-simple-dtd-1.0/catalog, /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-3.0/catalog, /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-3.1/catalog, /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-4.0/catalog, /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-4.1/catalog, /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-4.4/catalog, /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-simple-dtd-4.1.2.4/catalog, /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.79/catalog, /usr/share/sgml/xml-iso-entities-8879.1986/catalog, /usr/share/sgml/sgml-iso-entities-8879.1986/catalog, /usr/share/sgml/openjade-1.3.2/dsssl/catalog, /usr/share/sgml/openjade-1.3.2/catalog
Using stylesheet: /usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.6.14/docbook-utils.dsl#html
Working on: /var/tmp/portage/hal-0.5.5.1-r3/work/hal-0.5.5.1/doc/spec/hal-spec.xml
jade:/var/tmp/portage/hal-0.5.5.1-r3/work/hal-0.5.5.1/doc/spec/hal-spec.xml:3:119:E: URL not supported by this version

jade:/usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-simple-dtd-4.1.2.4/ent/iso-lat1.ent:7:19:E: "X00C1" is not a function name

... (many more lines removed)

   I tried clearing out /usr/share/sgml and /etc/sgml, rebuilding the docbook catalog, and re-emerging related packages. None of these actions seem to have an affect on this problem.

I have the same error here. Is there an update on this?

[Comment 3 Leonardo Boshell (RETIRED) 2006-05-09 14:42:26 UTC]

What version(s) of docbook-xml-dtd do you have installed on your system? Also, what version of sgml-common?

It has been reported that sometimes the SGML catalogs get somehow corrupted and re-emerging sgml-common may fix that. It would be fantastic to find out the cause of those corruptions, but in the meantime you could try this as a work-around.

[Comment 4 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2006-05-27 20:47:19 UTC]

Last time there were some changes that the text-markup people made to older versions to fix the issue. Maybe something didn't get carried forward?

No further feedback from the reporter.
