Hi, Have you perhaps been reading my web page about sgml-base usage (or the lack of it): http://people.debian.org/~ardo/PACKAGES/SGML/sgml-base.html ??? I'm going (albeit slowly) over all the SGML related packages to check their conformance to the Debian SGML policy. Since I've only picked this up again lately and haven't checked that many packages yet, I haven't announced this yet publicly and officially. By theway, if you look at this page, please ignore the "Old" stuff. The "New" section has the results of my latest check. But since you're asking: Yes, /usr/lib/sgml is deprecated and we only have symlinks in there (except for openjade1.3. I'm not aware we already made the decision to remove these symlinks. Currently they're there for backwards compatibility. That's also why there still is a symlink to the /etc/sgml/catalog in there. If the people on this list think it's time to break this backwards compatibility and really clean up /usr/lib/sgml that's fine by me. I'll then put the code in sgml-base to remove the symlink to /etc/sgm/catalog, remove the transitional catalog and try to 'rmdir /usr/lib/sgml'. It would also be nice in the maintainer of openjade1.3 (hi Yann) finally fixed bug report #177801 to remove those files from /usr/lib/sgml. Maybe this needs to be NMU'ed. There are a couple of other issues with sp, jade and the like, but I haven't put those on that web page yet (hint: empty directories).
