I've opened bug 383507 against the xml-core package. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=383507
The bug relates to the fact that the XML versions of the ISO 8879:1986 character-entity sets are officially maintained by the W3 with the canonical base URI for them being: http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso8879/ The xml-core package adds data to the Debian XML and SGML catalog systems for resolving the FPI for those character-entity sets, but adds no data for resolving the canonical system ID for them. Some mechanisms for resolving URIs using catalogs are configured by default to prefer system IDs -- for example, the Apache XML Commons Resolver (libxml-commons-resolver1.1-java package); see the /etc/xml/resolver/CatalogManager.properties file. So when you use the XML Commons Resolver on a Debian system with a XML/XSL file that references the ISO 8879:1986 character-entity sets using their FPIs and the official www.w3.org URI as a system ID, the resolver checks the system ID, and finding no mapping for it in the Debian catalog system, initiates a remote HTTP request to the www.w3.org site to retrieve the entity files. To prevent that, the package should add data for resolving the system ID using the base URL above. --Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
