Bug#758294: libxml-parser-perl: files referenced in doc-base no longer exist

[Sebastian Ramacher]

Package: libxml-parser-perl
Version: 2.41-2
Severity: normal

The doc-base file for libxml-parser-perl references
/usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parser/Encodings/README and
/usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parser/Encodings/Japanese_Encodings.msg. After the
perl 5.20 transition, these two files no longer exist. So during the
upgrade of lixml-parser-perl, the doc-base trigger emits the following
error:

Processing 1 added doc-base file...
Error in `/usr/share/doc-base/libxml-parser-perl', line 10: all `Format' sections are invalid.
Note: `install-docs --verbose --check file_name' may give more details about the above error.

This error is rather misleading. 'install-docs --verbose --check
/usr/share/doc-base/libxml-parser-perl' reports

Warning in `/usr/share/doc-base/libxml-parser-perl', line 10: file mask ` /usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parser/Encodings/README /usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parser/Encodings/Japanese_Encodings.msg' does not match any files.
Error in `/usr/share/doc-base/libxml-parser-perl', line 10: all `Format' sections are invalid.
/usr/share/doc-base/libxml-parser-perl: Fatal error found, the file won't be registered.

Changing the file paths to the new location is enough to make
install-docs happy again.

Cheers
