[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#441255: libxslt: Internal error in xsltValueOf()

[Kevin Bullock]

Package: libxslt
Version: > 1.1.12-8
Severity: important

When running xsltproc or using the Perl interface (XML::LibXSLT) to 
transform any but the simplest DocBook documents into HTML or FO using 
the DocBook XSL stylesheets (docbook.sf.net), I see the following error:

runtime error: file /opt/docbook-xsl-1.73.2/lib/lib.xsl line 211 element value-of
Internal error in xsltValueOf(): failed to cast an XPath object to string.

This only happens since my upgrade to etch. I've tested it with version 
1.1.12-8 from sarge, with which the error doesn't appear.
