Yeah. That CI job runs on a canned Debian image that is rebuilt and republished every couple of days to make sure it's using up to date packages and kernel etc. Perhaps the package installation silently corrupted /etc/xml/catalog, given that multiple packages probably mess with it, though I don't have a specific theory for how that could happen, given that package installation seems to be serial... The installation log doesn't seem to show anything suspicious. https://github.com/anarazel/pg-vm-images/ https://cirrus-ci.com/github/anarazel/pg-vm-images https://cirrus-ci.com/build/5427240429682688 https://api.cirrus-ci.com/v1/task/6621385303261184/logs/build_image.log I tried simply reinstalling docbook-xml in my own github account (which is showing the problem), and it cleared the error: setup_additional_packages_script: | - #apt-get update - #DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install ... + apt-get update + DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install --reinstall docbook-xml https://cirrus-ci.com/task/6458406242877440 I wonder if this will magically fix itself when the next CI image build cron job kicks off. I have no idea what time zone this page is showing but it should happen in another day or so, unless Andres is around to kick it sooner: https://cirrus-ci.com/github/anarazel/pg-vm-images
