Hi,

The fault is not in the XML documentation.  It's probably a flaw in
passivetex, used by xmlto, which is unmaintained and buggy.

I processed it with db2pdf, which worked, but it got the ISO-8859-2
encoding screwed up (processed as Latin-1, even though it specified
the encoding. *sigh*).  It should really be UTF-8 encoded [but db2pdf
can't cope with UTF-8 at all].  The DocBook toolchain is really
dire...

One solution would be for the upstream maintainer to provide the docs
pre-built in the tarball.  This is common practice, and saves the
autobuilders building the same docs for no good reason, and it cuts
out a huge amount of build-deps.  And of course it saves the pain of
getting a working DocBook setup...


Regards,
Roger
