I've not seen that problem. I normally build xmlto on all my systems, at the end of the docbook packages. Those are the first things I build on a booted system, although a lot of stuff (e.g. dqlite, openssl, Python2, dhclient, pcre, ncftp, ntp, postfix, rsync, wget, fcron, openssh, nfs) has already been built before I boot. So I'm puzzled if your builds fail. Ah, no, they continue don't they ? For me, libxslt has similar (but different) messages - but when I build libxslt I have nt yet installed xmlto. To which package(s) does this happen ? And if it is needed, a sed will do the job. e.g. (untested) sed -i 's/^\(XSLTOPTS=\)/#\1/' xmlto.in ĸen -- Il Porcupino Nil Sodomy Est!
