[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#482140: Bug#482140: must be /etc/sgml

[Alan Somers]

I have the same problem.  I have a computer that originally ran Sarge, that
I upgraded to Etch when that became stable, and that I now attempted to
upgrade to unstable.  The upgrade failed when configuring docbook-xml.  By
Daniel's suggestion, here is the output of dpkg  --configure docbook-xml
when run with set -ex in vim /var/lib/dpkg/info/docbook-xml.postinst

Setting up docbook-xml (4.5-5) ...
