[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#800142: docbook2x: docbook2x-man binary broken due to literal ${prefix} instead of path name

Source: docbook2x
Version: 0.8.8-10
Severity: serious
Justification: breaks other packages

Hi,

docbook2x-man always fails with:

 /usr/bin/utf8trans:${prefix}/share/docbook2X/charmaps/roff.charmap: No
 such file or directory

This is because of:

% grep prefix /usr/bin/docbook2x-man
    'utf8trans-map-roff' =>
    q<${prefix}/share/docbook2X/charmaps/roff.charmap>,
    'utf8trans-map-texi' =>
    q<${prefix}/share/docbook2X/charmaps/texi.charmap>,
    'stylesheets-catalog' =>
    q<${prefix}/share/docbook2X/xslt/catalog.xml>,

The ${prefix} here should be the literal string "/usr/bin/" if you look
back at, say, the version in wheezy.

(If it helps, it's related to autoreconfing. As in, disabling that
"fixes" the issue...)


Regards,
