[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#798638: virtualbox FTBFS is /usr/bin/xmllint is found

[Graham Inggs]

Source: virtualbox
Version: 5.0.4-dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi maintainer

As noted in LP: #1494258 [1], virtualbox FTBFS with the message:

warning: failed to load external entity "/docbookx.dtd"
Could not parse DTD /docbookx.dtd

This only occurs if libxml2-utils is installed and /usr/bin/xmllint is 
found.
After uninstalling libxml2-utils, the build is successful.

It would be nice if libxmls-utils was a build dependency and the manual 
was validated as intended by upstream.

Regards
Graham
