Hi, As requested, I'm currently preparing updates for sgml-base involving two major changes:
1) update-catalog is renamed to update-sgmlcatalaog 2) catalog registration has to be changed to comply to the policy About 1): Well, it has been requested [1], that update-catalog changes its name to update-sgmlcatalog. This will be done as of version 1.99.0 of sgml-base. It won't break any existing scripts, but a message will be printed to STDERR to inform, that the script name has been changed and that update-catalog will disappear in the future (probably in squeeze +1?). About 2): The current design always re-adds the catalog to the system catalog, even if the user has decided to remove the catalog from the system catalog and thus, the application violates the Debian policy section 10.7.3 [2,3]. I currently think about 2 possible solution. It might be necessary to bin-NMU all packages registering SGML catalogs. I can tell you as soon as the final solution has been found.
