Subject: inkscape: Unable to open certain openclipart files
Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2012 20:06:43 +0100
Package: inkscape
Version: 0.48.3.1-1.2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am trying to access openlipart.org cliparts via
Menu->File->"Import from Open Clip Art Library".

Searching for "Person" and importing "Young Man" works perfectly
well.
However when I want to import "Business Person", the preview is
visible, but the import fails with a GUI messsage

"Failed to load the requested file
/tmp/ocal-BEFMPW-msewtz_Business_Person.svg"

and on the console the following error appears:
--- BEGIN ---
/tmp/ocal-BEFMPW-msewtz_Business_Person.svg:7: namespace warning : xmlns: URI &ns_svg; is not absolute
<svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="&ns_svg;" xmlns:xlink="&ns_xlink;" width
                                                 ^
--- END ---

It would be great, if all cliparts would be usable.

Regards
Markus

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
This bug was also noticed when loading the Debian logo itself here:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/01/msg00532.html

0.48.3.1-1.3 is said not to be affected there... But I have the same
problem as you with the file here:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c2/AdditiveColor.svg

A workaround that is suggested:

1) apt-get install libxml2-utils sgml-data
2) xmllint --noent openlogo.svg > openlogo-fixed.svg
(Yes it's "noent", not to be confused with "nonet".)
3) Optionally, remove the DTD declaration from the resulting file.

The last two steps can be combined as:

xmllint --dropdtd --noent openlogo.svg > openlogo-fixed.svg

This bug with the Debian logo was reported in #698872, where the package
python-scour was also suggested to cleanup namespaces...

So no fix, but a workaround, which I confirms fixes the problem for me
with the above image.

Since the regression was introduced by a security bug-fix for 0.48.4, AFAICT that fix was backported to the 0.48.3.1 debian packages:
