Package: emacs25-common Version: 25.2+1-5 Severity: normal emacs25-common contains the DocBook 4.2 schema, which is old. There are newer 4.x schemas, and now even 5.x, which is largely incompatible with 4.x. Updating the schema wouldn't be sufficient as several schemas need to coexist. Such schemas should normally be provided by separate packages (e.g. docbook-xml for 4.x and docbook5-xml for 5.x). Only correct location rules need to be added, but this may need cooperation from the docbook*-xml packages.
Note: This bug is similar to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=335052 against emacs24-common (initially filed in 2005!!!). The issue is much more important now that DocBook 5 is available. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.11.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=POSIX (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages emacs25-common depends on: ii emacsen-common 2.0.8 ii install-info 6.4.90.dfsg.1-1+b1 Versions of packages emacs25-common recommends: ii emacs25-el 25.2+1-5 Versions of packages emacs25-common suggests: ii emacs25-common-non-dfsg 25.2+1-1 ii ncurses-term 6.0+20170715-2 -- no debconf information
