Bug#429847: generates incorrect OMF file for scrollkeeper if doc-base file contains & character

[Laurent Bonnaud]

Package: doc-base
Version: 0.8.4
Severity: normal


Hi,

here is the problem:

# apt-get install mh-book
[...]
Setting up mh-book (200605-1) ...
/var/lib/scrollkeeper/C/scrollkeeper_cl.xml:0: error : unterminated entity 
reference  nmh: Email for Users & Programmers
/var/lib/scrollkeeper/C/scrollkeeper_extended_cl.xml:0: error : unterminated 
entity reference  nmh: Email for Users & Programmers


The doc-base file /usr/share/doc-base/mh-book contains the following
line:

  Title: MH & nmh: Email for Users & Programmers

With this input, install-docs generates the
/usr/share/omf/doc-base/mh-book/mh-book-C.omf file that contains the
following line:

  <title>MH &amp; nmh: Email for Users &amp; Programmers</title>

and scrollkeeper does not like the &amp; entity.  It complains again
and again during each package installation:

# scrollkeeper-rebuilddb -q
/var/lib/scrollkeeper/C/scrollkeeper_cl.xml:0: error : unterminated entity 
reference  nmh: Email for Users & Programmers
/var/lib/scrollkeeper/C/scrollkeeper_extended_cl.xml:0: error : unterminated 
entity reference  nmh: Email for Users & Programmers
