Hi, I'm trying to install libnotify but I was having trouble getting passed the XML verification. It kept saying :
FAILED: docs/notification-spec.html /usr/bin/xmlto xhtml-nochunks -m /tmp/libnotify-0.7.8/docs/config.xsl -o docs ../docs/notification-spec.xml xmlto: /tmp/libnotify-0.7.8/build/../docs/notification-spec.xml does not validate (status 3) xmlto: Fix document syntax or use --skip-validation option /tmp/libnotify-0.7.8/build/../docs/notification-spec.xml:2: warning: failed to load external entity " http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd"; cBook XML V4.1.2//EN" " http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd"; When I went to that site I've noticed that it had an "https" instead of an "http" in the beginning of the address. After changing each "http" to "https" for the oasis-open.org sites in /etc/xml/{catalog,docbook} and creating a simple patch, I was able to build without any errors. I couldn't find any mention of it in the errata but perhaps I've missed something. I've attached both the patch and the log files for reference.
