[Description Chris Durbin 2004-03-23 12:05:12 UTC]

running glsa-check fails with the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/glsa-check", line 152, in ?
    myglsa = Glsa(myid, glsaconfig)
  File "/usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/glsa.py", line 326, in __init__
    self.read()
  File "/usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/glsa.py", line 341, in read

Same here:

=== Begin ===
root@cube:~# glsa-check -p new

and distribution system, it's functionality will later be merged into emerge
and equery.

Ah, I was afraid I missed the DTD check for one case :(
