Description: iputils 20100214-2 fails to build from PKGBUILD.

Problem seems to be related to makepkg aborting build without sufficient cause. Makepkg begins generating documentation for iputils via the command osx, osx outputs warnings, makepkg aborts. The files generated by osx look okay in spite of the warnings, which leads me to believe that the desired behavior in this situation is for makepkg to ignore the warnings. Modifying the PKGBUILD so that "osx -xlower -xno-nl-in-tag $file > $xf" becomes "osx -xlower -xno-nl-in-tag $file > $xf || true" allows iputils to be built.


Additional info:
* iputils 20100214-2
I have attached a log of the output from osx which caused makepkg to abort.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Clone abs.
2. Copy iputils from abs into working directory.
3. Run makepkg.

   build.log (1.6 KiB)

I spent a few hours trying to understand the problem. It seems that our sgml installation is incomplete or incorrect.

As iputils 20101006 fix some security isses (eg CVE-2010-2529). I think it is important to upgrade this package. I am going to suggest to use this patch from Linux From Scratch. It contains pregenerated documentation for the 20101006 release :
