Hello,

our ftpmaster has detected an issue with one of the DTDs which are
distributed with BioPython source.

I can confirm that after applying the following patch


--- a/Bio/Entrez/DTDs/modules.ent
+++ b/Bio/Entrez/DTDs/modules.ent
@@ -350,13 +350,6 @@ Version  Reason/Occasion
 "mathmlsetup.ent"                                                    >

 <!ENTITY % mathml.dtd   PUBLIC
 "-//W3C//DTD MathML 2.0//EN"


the file in question can be removed from the archive without breaking
the build (including the test suite).  I would like to suggest to drop
the file in question from your distribution tarball in case my analysis
that it is not needed is correct.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
