Bug 266858 – gnome-base/gdm-2.20.10: many parser and validity errors

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED INVALID

[Description Robert Crawford 2009-04-20 14:26:09 UTC]

Now I have another gdm-2.20.10 completely different error on another kde-svn installation partition (on the same box), but this install is 32bit- the other is amd64. SNIPPED about 100 similar lines previous to:

you most likely have a corrupted docbook catalog. I'll come back later with instruction for how to fix it.

Gilles,
I forgot to mention, this, and the other gdm bug I filed ( http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266857 ) ocurred on systems running kde-svn from the kde-testing overlay. However, don't know if this makes any difference, but I just successfully installed gdm-2.20.10 on another identical Gentoo 32 bit ~x86 system running kde-4.2.2 from portage.

Ok, I didn't find where I left my nice comments about this kind of problems so let's try again.

First, please backup /etc/xml/catalog somewhere, then reinstall app-text/docbook-xml-dtd:4.1.2 (I assume it already is otherwise please say so but still continue with these instructions), make a diff between the backup and the new /etc/xml/catalog and attach it here.

Then you should be able to build gdm.

Sorry-  I replied to 266857, and mentioned this one, too (both were filed concurrently), and assumed since it was the same person dealing with both of them that when they read my reply on 266857 they would also assume both problems were apparently resolved by rebuilding libpng. The corrupted docbook problem filed here disappeared without me doing anything else except just the rebuild of libpng.

Just for record keeping. I ran in to this same issue not to long ago.  I just fixed it and I will post the diff in a few hours when I get a graphical browser running on the machine so its easier to copy and paste the diff for you.

I am more curious how the file became corrupt

hum that's not exactly what I would have expected to find as a diff since I have those two lines and it still builds fine. Maybe the problem is somewhere else. Nevermind we've got other reports with users have similar problem. Truth will eventually emerge :)

> Thanks for the fix. Reemerged docbook and gdm emerged fine after that. Did a diff between old and new catalog and there were no differences between the files. Diff output was null. Do you require anymore info??????

Thanks for yuor help
