Package: doc-base Followup-For: Bug #709912 Hi Daniel,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to 'doc-base' documentation [0] you *can* use the same Document ID for the same documentation in multiple files, but it only makes sense if you use different formats: 2.5.1 Splitting control files over multiple binary packages Since version 0.8.7 is it possible to provide documents with the same document-id by more than one binary package. All such documents with be merged together and the merged document will be generated in /var/lib/doc-base/documents/document-id file. This feature can be useful in cases when the same documentation, but in different formats, is provided by two binary packages. Here it mentions multiple binary packages, but it may as well be applied to your example, where everything is in the same package. You get the above error because your already specified HTML format for 'gtypist'. You could merge it if you provided, i.e. PDF, PS or other formats. Also, translations are not the same documentation any more, they're distinct in 'doc-base' meaning. This is how I understand it and it is what 'doc-base' documentation suggests. It's hard to be 100% sure as the documentation I quoted doesn't mention anything about translations. However, modifying Document ID for each translation fixes the issue. Morover, this is what other packages are doing exactyl - having different Document IDs for translations. [0] file:///usr/share/doc/doc-base/doc-base.html/ch-interface.html I hope this helps.
