I’m almost sure this comes from the catalog, since the error is about a DTD not found. The docbook DTD is found in the docbook-xml which registers it the system-wide catalog, so it should be available when scrollkeeper runs. However I didn’t think that the catalog could not be up-to-date at the time scrollkeeper runs, as you explained: > I wonder, if scrollkeeper needs to pre-depend on docbook-xml when it > tries to access an online-system-ID rewritten to a local location by > docbook-xml.

Indeed, this may be caused by the fact that many packages don’t depend on scrollkeeper, yet register their documents with it in the postinst, only checking that /usr/bin/scrollkeeper-update exists. Ross, could you look through your dpkg.log and find whether docbook-xml or xml-core was updated in the same run as the one where you hit the issue? That would explain the problem without incriminating xml-core at all. Still, I’m not sure making scrollkeeper pre-depend on docbook-xml will work. That will avoid issues in a first installation but not during an upgrade. If a package that doesn’t depend on scrollkeeper is updated together with docbook-xml in the same run, it may try to run scrollkeeper-update at a time where the DTD is not registered. As is, I don’t see any way to fix it that does not involve rebuilding all packages calling scrollkeeper-update in their postinst. The correct way to handle it would probably to use a trigger. Also, using rarian-compat instead of scrollkeeper will never hit the issue, that’s why it is the default in lenny installs now. Cheers, -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
