Bug#1033417: newt: missing Build-Depends docbook

[Jochen Sprickerhof]

Hi Henry,

* Henry N. <henrynmail-deb...@yahoo.com> [2023-03-24 17:56]:

build in a minimal build environmet fails for docbook2html.

# apt source newt
# cd newt-0.52.23
# apt build-dep newt
... all dependency installed ...
# dpkg-buildpackage -B "-Pnocheck noinsttest noudeb" -uc -us
...
openjade:/tmp/newt-0.52.23/tutorial/../tutorial.sgml:1:61:W: cannot
generate system identifier for public text "-//Davenport//DTD DocBook
V3.0//EN"
openjade:/tmp/newt-0.52.23/tutorial/../tutorial.sgml:1:61:E: reference
to entity "ARTICLE" for which no system identifier could be generated
...
openjade:I: maximum number of errors (200) reached; change with -E
option
make[1]: *** [debian/rules:53: override_dh_auto_build] Error 8
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/newt/newt-0.52.23'
make: *** [debian/rules:14: build-arch] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build-arch subprocess returned
exit status 2

I can't reproduce this with:

$ sbuild --no-arch-all --profiles=nocheck,noinsttest,noudeb -d unstable newt

Workaround: After installing "docbook" it works.

Downgrading accordingly.

Cheers Jochen

newt build depends on docbook-utils that depends on docbook-dsssl that depends on docbook so your minimal system should have installed that already. Can you please verify?
