Curious, can you attach info.xml to this bug. Also, have you tried to re-emerge yelp and running it again. I got the same error, but re-emerging yelp fixed it for me. (In reply to comment #2) > I got the same error, but re-emerging yelp fixed it for me. Scrub that. I still get the error, there was just a 5 second delay before it appeared! Here is my emerge --info. I will attach my /usr/share/yelp/info.xml file.

I re-emerge yelp several times and also clear conf files in home dir, but it don't help.

My info.xml
This is my info.xml
fixed in yelp-2.14.2-r1 (In reply to comment #7) > fixed in yelp-2.14.2-r1 > Not yet fixed, when I update to yelp-2.14.2-r1, it still print following message: /usr/share/yelp/info.xml:0: error : unterminated entity reference UML for Emacs It still not completely fixed, I will try to fix it. This is the entries in info that cause the bug:
Programming & development tools
* GDBM: (gdbm). The GNU database manager.
* cogre: (cogre). Graphs & UML for Emacs
It seems that ampersand is not handled correctly. The first one split into Programming and development tools in yelp 2.14.2. The patch in portage fixed this, but the second one still not being fixed. In yelp, it displays as
cogre
Graphs
and the string behind ampersand is not shown. It also print error message in the console as following.
/usr/share/yelp/info.xml:0: error : unterminated entity reference UML for
Emacs

New ampersand escaping patch
This patch fix error in parse xml when ampersand also exists in info description.
Tested in my machine.
I have a question with the way to deal with ampersand. When we find ampersand also used in other field of info dir, we should update our patch to resolve it. Is there any way to completely resolve similar problems? As yelp is update to 2.16.x, this is no longer valid. |
