Package: python2.3-xml Version: 0.8.4-1 Severity: minor I wanted to try validating XML, so I wanted to run xmlproc_val against the urls.xml file in the example.
I had to read the source code for xmlproc_val to know that you have to set XMLSOCATALOG to make it find the catalog. It would be better if this were in the manual entry for xmlproc_val. However, that's too trivial; the real bug is: The offered catalog in /usr/share/doc/python2.3-xml/examples/demo/xmlproc/catalog.soc points to the URL http://www.schema.net/public-text/catalog.soc, which no longer exists. The fix is to delete the reference to the nonexistent catalog. Here's a terminal dialogue to make all this clear. It includes a patch to catalog.soc. lobus:~> cp -ra /usr/share/doc/python2.3-xml/examples/demo/xmlproc /tmp/xmlproc lobus:~> cd /tmp/xmlproc lobus:/tmp/xmlproc> gunzip *.gz */*.gz lobus:/tmp/xmlproc> xmlproc_val urls.xml xmlproc version 0.70 Parsing 'urls.xml' E:hate-sysids:1:0: Couldn't open resource 'hate-sysids' E:urls.xml:5:7: Element 'xbel' not declared E:urls.xml:6:8: Element 'title' not declared ...trimmed...
