Description Garry Roseman 2002-06-12 15:31:19 UTC

Merging sgml-common-0.6.3 failed with warning that "/etc/sgml/sgml-ent.cat was
not found".  Sure enough there is no sgml-ent.cat file.  Merging the older
sgml-common-0.6.1-r1 installed the required sgml-ent.cat file and then the
latest sgml-common-0.6.3 could be sucessfully merged.  There appears to be an
unintended dependency on the older sgml-common.  It seems to me that either the
dependency needs to be made explicit or the 0.6.3 ebuild corrected to install
the missing cat file.

Nope.  It is because the older had a braindead way to remove the catalogs,
and in the wrong order.  What you are experiencing is 0.6.3 bork.

If you really want to test it, make sure you only have -r1 installed.  remerge
it a few times (old -r1 should be unmerged no problem).  Unmerge and then
remerge it.  Cp it over to -r2, and then merge -r2.  In all these cases it
should work fine.
