Source: spandsp
Version: 0.0.6~pre20-3
Severity: serious
When I recently did a full build of spandsp in pbuilder, it happened
that my net connection went down momentarily, and I noticed this in
the build log:
...
cd t38_manual ; xsltproc ../wrapper.xsl ../t38_manual.xml
error : connection refused
../t38_manual.xml:3: warning: failed to load external entity

Though the package continued building and the build completed
successfully, downloading external files during the build process is a
serious issue (as it violates the reasonable expectation that source
packages shouldn't act as spyware when you build them). Not to
mention that if the docs come out differently depending on whether the
build machine has net access or not, that's another serious issue -- I
didn't check whether this was the case or not for this package.
If I add docbook-xml and docbook to the Build-Depends, that seems to
resolve this issue, if I do a test rebuild with the network connection
temporarily disabled. I'm not sure if both of those are needed...
