[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#390110: ftbfs: old xml2po fails, build scripts ignore that

[Max Kellermann]

Package: shadow
Version: 1:4.0.18.1-3

I have gnome-doc-utils from sarge (0.1.3-3), since shadow does not set
a versioned build dependency.  During build, xml2po fails because this
old version doesn't understand the new style command line syntax.
This is ignored by shadow's build scripts, because xml2po has a zero
exit code (I will also file a bug against gnome-doc-utils for this
one).  Excerpt from the build log:

xml2po -l fr -p fr/fr.po -o fr/chage.1.xml chage.1.xml
Usage:  /usr/bin/xml2po [OPTIONS] [XMLFILE]...

OPTIONS may be some of:
[... help text cut out ...]
sed -i 's:\(^<refentry .*\)>:\1 lang="fr">:' fr/chage.1.xml
sed: can't read fr/chage.1.xml: No such file or directory
