Comment 8 for bug 166371

I seems like the bug reappeared.

I'm using version 0.48.4-0.1ubuntu2 of the package inkscape and tried to open a bunch of SVGs that start like this:

<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd" [
 <!ENTITY ns_svg "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
 <!ENTITY ns_xlink "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
]>
<svg version="1.1" id="Ebene_1" xmlns="&ns_svg;" xmlns:xlink="&ns_xlink;" ...>

The complaint is the same as above. If the document element is edited to read this:

<svg version="1.1" id="Ebene_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ...>

it works. Seemingly the entities are not expanded.

I don't have the source code so I can't fix this myself. But this seems to be a good candidate for a regression test.
