Package: docbook2x Version: 0.8.3-1 Followup-For: Bug #262990
Hi, this is extremely inconvenient situation. The docbook-utils have misleading name because the cannot handle docbook-XML but provide a docbook2man script that just gives you lots of errors on docbook-XML input. The alternative is surely docbook2x but from an upstream point of view: what shall I look for in a configure script: looking for docbook2man will not fail because damn docbook-utils provide this, looking for docbook2x-man will fail for all other distribution. This sucks :-( Can't you use dpkg-divert, docbook2x can also handle SGML input with a command line switch. I also filed a bug report on docbook-utils, they claim to support XML but don't, you claim to ship docbook2x but change all names. I thought that within a distribution, maintainers could coordinate with each other, at least for a common goal like docbook support. So please DO THAT! I am really sorry for very bad coordination of docbook support in Debian: wrong descriptions, misleading package names and randomly renamed scripts :-( HS -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages docbook2x depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libtext-wrapi18n-perl 0.06-1 internationalized substitute of Te ii libxml-sax-expat-perl 0.37-3 Perl module for a SAX2 driver for ii libxml2 2.6.16-3 GNOME XML library ii libxslt1.1 1.1.12-5 XSLT processing library - runtime ii perl 5.8.4-6 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
