Attached is the patch with which I intend to NMU xml-core in a little
while. The bug has been open for about three weeks now, and the fix is
simple enough. I didn't use Ghe Rivero's patch, but removed all use of
cd (since as far as I can determine, such use is useless). The package
as patched is relatively lintian and linda clean (a few warnings that
are harmelss and will be left for the maintainer to fix), and passes
piuparts testing (except for a warning about /etc/sgml, but that seems
to be due to a dependency, not this package).
