Hi, since upgrading to GNOME 2.8, I seem to be getting a lot of xml parsing errors when GNOME related packages are emerged. I don't remember getting these with the 2.6 series, but I'm not 100% sure... Here's what it looks like at the end of an emerge of gnome-utils-2.8.0 for example (it occurs with many of the packages): ######################################################### /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-system-log/fr/gnome-system-log.xml:239: parser error : Entity 'eacute' not defined <para>Pour afficher les propriétés du fichier, sélecti ^ /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-system-log/fr/gnome-system-log.xml:239: parser error : Entity 'eacute' not defined <para>Pour afficher les propriétés du fichier, sélecti ^ /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-system-log/fr/gnome-system-log.xml:239: parser error : Entity 'eacute' not defined ute;lectionnez <menuchoice><guimenu>Journal</guimenu><guimenuitem>Proprié ^ /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-system-log/fr/gnome-system-log.xml:239: parser error : Entity 'eacute' not defined onnez <menuchoice><guimenu>Journal</guimenu><guimenuitem>Propriété ^ /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-system-log/fr/gnome-system-log.xml:240: parser error : Entity 'icirc' not defined La boîte de dialogue <guilabel>Statistiques de journaux</guilabel> af ^ /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-system-log/fr/gnome-system-log.xml:246: parser error : Entity 'egrave' not defined <listitem><para>la date de la dernière modification du fichier ;</p ^ /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-system-log/fr/gnome-system-log.xml:248: parser error : Entity 'eacute' not defined <listitem><para>la date de création du fichier ;</para> ^ /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-system-log/fr/gnome-system-log.xml:250: parser error : Entity 'eacute' not defined <listitem><para>la date de l'entrée de journal la plus récen ^ /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-system-log/fr/gnome-system-log.xml:250: parser error : Entity 'eacute' not defined <listitem><para>la date de l'entrée de journal la plus récen ^ /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-system-log/fr/gnome-system-log.xml:259: parser error : Entity 'eacute' not defined <para>Pour fermer un journal, sélectionnez <menuchoice><guimenu>Jour ^ * Updating desktop mime database... * Updating shared mime info database... *** * Updating MIME database in /usr/share/mime... *** >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... * Caching service dependencies... >>> gnome-extra/gnome-utils-2.8.0 merged. * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. ######################################################### These errors don't seem to affect the operation of the programs, but I'm curious as to why they're occuring in the first place.

probably some scrollkeepr/xslt whatever issue.. it always gives the same errors i bet ?
It gives similar errors, but not always the same.

It's one of those things that makes me wonder if something isn't messed up along the toolchain though...
hm, I think I fixed it somehow by updating to the following (using emerge unmerge scrollkeeper, emerge -u scrollkeeper): build-docbook-catalog-1.2 docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.65.1 docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2-r5 docbook-xml-dtd-4.3 scrollkeeper-0.3.14 I have no idea which package actually fixed it, but I think it could have been docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2-r5. Previous I was using -r3, but when I updated to -r5 it pulled in a build-docbook-catalog and docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.65.1 (previously was using docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.52.2). Do you think some package dependencies might have to be updated somewhere along the chain? Note, I don't use emerge -u world, so it's possible that if a package dependency didn't get bumped to a new version I might have missed an essential update, hence I had to unmerge scrollkeeper before using emerge -u scrollkeeper.
All these packages are now marked stable for all archs, so they should be installed from now on. Apologies for the mess beforehand. We could create a new revision of scrollkeeper, add the updated dependencies to force upgrades, but unfortunately I think that's a bit messy, as this 'bug' (the old xml docbook ebuilds) is becoming rarer. Glad it was fixed.
