checkXML showing a lot of error messages like if files were not correct

[Toni Asensi]

Hi!

Using Kubuntu 15.04, the program checkXML is showing a lot of error messages.

Note: If the error messages were like:
    index.docbook:8: warning: failed to load external entity "dtd/kdedbx45.dtd"]>
    index.docbook:10: parser error : Entity 'language' not defined
    [...]
then I copied the "dtd" directory from e.g. "/usr/share/kf5/kdoctools/customization/dtd/" and tried again.

Steps to reproduce the bug:
- Download the latest (at this moment) "index.docbook" of Konsole from:
http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=konsole.git&a=blob&h=1f74d585e0268c2e937ad989250d15a72ecae2e2&f=doc%2Fmanual%2Findex.docbook&o=plain
- Execute
    checkXML index.docbook
- See that it shows a lot of error messages:
    index.docbook:2: element para: validity error : ID gnu-fdl already defined
    element div: validity error : ID header already defined
    element div: validity error : ID header_content already defined
    [...]

I tried the same, but in Kubuntu 14.04, after having installed the package kdelibs5-dev, and... there were no error messages.

I'm available for further testing. Thanks!

If it can be helpful, this is the result of some commands in Kubuntu 15.04:

    $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/checkXML
    kdelibs5-dev: /usr/bin/checkXML

    $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/meinproc4
    kdoctools: /usr/bin/meinproc4

    $ which checkXML | xargs cat
    #! /bin/sh

    prefix=/usr
    exec_prefix=/usr/bin
    exit `/usr/bin/meinproc4 --check --stdout $@ > /dev/null`

    $ dpkg -l | grep kdoctool
    ii kdoctools 4:4.14.6-4~ubuntu3.1 amd64 various tools for accessing application documentation
    ii kdoctools-dev 5.9.0-0ubuntu1 amd64 Documentation generation from docbook
    ii kdoctools5 5.9.0-0ubuntu1 amd64 Documentation generation from docbook

The execution of "checkXML5 index.docbook" shows the same errors as "checkXML index.docbook".

The execution of
    dpkg -S /usr/bin/checkXML5
shows
    kdoctools5: /usr/bin/checkXML5

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Seems like libxml2 bug:
