[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#482140: docbook-xml breaks etch->lenny dist-upgrade, another occurrence

[Mathias Teikari]

Another repeat of this bug when dist-upgrade etch->lenny on i386
machine. Not on a VM so can't run it again to reproduce, but the upgrade
log, the /etc/xml/catalog.old and /etc/xml/docbook-xml.xml.old files are
attached in case it may be helpful.

My etch system was not newly installed, but had been running for about 7
months and kept up-to-date.

Brute force workaround saved the day:
dpkg --purge docbook-xml

then run
apt-get dist-upgrade
again.

Regards,
