Package: emacs-common Version: 1:26.3+1-1 Severity: normal [This was initially bug 871485 against emacs25-common, which has been removed from Debian. I'm re-reporting this bug against emacs-common.]
emacs-common contains the DocBook 4.2 schema, which is old. There are newer 4.x schemas, and now even 5.x, which is largely incompatible with 4.x. Updating the schema wouldn't be sufficient as several schemas need to coexist. Such schemas should normally be provided by separate packages (e.g. docbook-xml for 4.x and docbook5-xml for 5.x). Only correct location rules need to be added, but this may need cooperation from the docbook*-xml packages. Note: This bug is similar to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=335052 against emacs24-common (initially filed in 2005!!!). The issue is much more important now that DocBook 5 is available. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.5.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=POSIX (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages emacs-common depends on: ii emacsen-common 3.0.4 ii install-info 6.7.0.dfsg.2-5 Versions of packages emacs-common recommends: ii emacs-el 1:26.3+1-1 Versions of packages emacs-common suggests: ii emacs-common-non-dfsg 1:26.3+1-1 ii ncurses-term 6.2-1 -- no debconf information -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
