Bug 7204 – scrollkeeper-update seems broken

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Antonio D'souza 2002-08-29 06:20:21 UTC]

After Ebuild are installed, I now get the following text, after which the system
maxes out CPU usage & no further progress is made:

>>> Updating Scrollkeeper
scrollkeeper-update: warning: /usr/share/omf/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-C.omf
overrides /usr/share/omf/gnome-core/gnome-terminal-C.omf
OMF file [/usr/share/omf/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper_manual-C.omf] does not
validate against ScrollKeeper-OMF DTD: /usr/share/xml/scrollkeeper/d
ds/scrollkeeper-omf.dtd

After updating gnome-utils to 2.0.2-r1 i get:
 >>> Updating Scrollkeeper

 1365:19 scrollkeeper-update -p //var/lib/scrollkeeper

load 1.00 cause of this process

scrollkeeper: 0.3.11

I have the same problem on my machine. Extremely annoying while emerging gnome
since I have to break at each scrollkeeper update and start emerge again.

try running scrollkeeper-rebuilddb

[Comment 4 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2002-09-17 00:43:51 UTC]

this did it for me

dunno why, i've changed nothing, but now it works

[Comment 5 Antonio D'souza 2003-01-07 12:22:24 UTC]

running scrollkeeper-rebuilddb made it point out a large number of OMF files
that do not validate. 

[Comment 6 Spider (RETIRED) 2003-01-07 14:20:10 UTC]

yes, older (gnome 1.x ) applications didn't follow the harsher scrollkeeper DTD
rules for documentation, and thus dont validate properly.

this is an in-progress work upstream and will phase out with time
