Package: sgml-base Version: 1.06 Severity: grave I hope I'm not been hysterical with the severity of the bug, please downgrade it if so.
After installation of sgml-base 1.06, /etc/sgml/catalog contains: -- AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED, DO NOT EDIT -- CATALOG "/usr/lib/sgml/catalog" CATALOG "/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheet/dsssl/sgmltools/sgmltools.cat" CATALOG /etc/sgml/transitional.cat But if I look at /usr/lib/sgml/catalog, I see: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 26 11:02 /usr/lib/sgml/catalog -> /etc/sgml/catalog Thus, this seems like a circular situation. Indeed, nsgmls reports: nsgmls:/usr/lib/sgml/catalog:2:8:E: CATALOG entries cause loop nsgmls:/usr/lib/sgml/catalog:2:8:E: CATALOG entries cause loop -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: sparc Kernel: Linux arroz 2.2.18pre21 #1 Wed Nov 22 17:12:06 EST 2000 sparc64 Versions of packages sgml-base depends on: ii perl-5.005 [perl5] 5.005.03-7.1 Larry Wall's Practical Extracting ii sed 3.02-6 The GNU sed stream editor.
