[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#482140: I could reproduce it

[alci]

Hi,

if this can help, here is how I encountered this bug:

- downloaded
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r4a/i386/iso-cd/debian-40r4a-i386-businesscard.iso

- installed debian in a virtualbox (Ubuntu Intrepid guest), with minimal
system + graphical environment (default choices)

- logged in gnome

- in /etc/apt/sources.list, changed any etch occurence with lenny

- apt-get update / apt-get dsit-upgrade

- configuration of packages fails on docbook-xml with error:

update-xmlcatalog: error: entity already registered
dpkg: error processing docbook-xml (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

- consequently, scrollkeeper and other gnome componentns are not configured. Default gnome session does not work.

- dpkg --purge docbook-xml / apt-get -f dist-upgrade works around the problem

Hope this can help,

Franck
