[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#1000816: xmlAddEntity: invalid redeclaration of predefined entity

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: docbook2x
Version: 0.8.8-17+b1
Severity: normal

Consider as a simple testcase test.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
  "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd">
<book/>

I get:

$ /usr/bin/docbook2x-texi test.xml
error : xmlAddEntity: invalid redeclaration of predefined entity
[...]

"xmllint --loaddtd --valid test.xml" does not show any redeclaration
of predefined entity issue. So this seems to come from docbook2x-texi.
