Hi, The next version of sgml-base (to be uploaded in the weekend of June 20) will drop support for the obsolete and deprecated directory '/usr/lib/sgml'.
This means that * the symbolic link from '/usr/lib/sgml/catalog' to '/etc/sgml/catalog' will be removed * the transitional SGML catalog 'usr/lib/sgml/transitional.cat' will be deregistered from the root SGML catalog '/etc/sgml/catalog' and removed from the file system _iff_ it's found to be empty (this is checked and done anytime 'install-sgmlcatalog --remove <package>' is called) * the directory '/usr/lib/sgml' will not be created anymore in a new install in the postinst of sgml-base Currently there are only two packages left with files in /usr/lib/sgml: * docbook-dsssl puts in '/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheet/dsssl/docbook/' a symbolic link for backwards compatibility (bug#248003) * openjade1.3 puts in '/usr/lib/sgml/dtd' a couple of DTD's (bug#177801) None of these impact the removal of the support for '/usr/lib/sgml'. (but it would still be nice to have them solved before the release of sarge). If there are any packages that have '/usr/lib/sgml' (still) in their SGML search path, please update them accordingly. Please keep discussions related to this on debian-sgml.
