failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xmlcharent/0.3/iso-pub.ent"
Hi list,
the latest gnumeric seems to require internet access to build its documentation. I am getting the following error [1] [2]:
failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xmlcharent/0.3/iso-pub.ent
The build works fine in mock, but it is probably because mock has access to internet while koji does not. Has anybody experienced something like this, respectively knows how this can be fixed? Thank you for your feedback in advance.
Best regards, Julian

It looks like this file is included in docbook-dtds package, so I'd add BuildRequires: docbook-dtds and patch the code to use the local file.

The XML catalog system should take care of that automatically. No source code patching is required.
But we should really fix the documentation building toolchain in question not to download DTDs, ever. These URLs are not intended as DTD distribution mechanisms, but identifiers. If our software keeps downloading them, we participate in a distributed denial-of-service attack:

Hi,
I added docbook-dtds to BR but it still fails with the same errors:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=17528945
Gnumeric build is looking for xmlcharent/0.3/iso-pub.ent, but docbook-dtds provides xml-dtd-4.1.2/ent/iso-pub.ent, docbook/xml-dtd-4.2/ent/iso-pub.ent and docbook/xml-dtd-4.3/ent/iso-pub.ent. Could this be the reason?
Best regards, Julian

FYI, I have managed to fix it by patching to use http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/ent/isopub.ent etc. Thanks for all the pointers!
Best regards, Julian

I'm not sure if it will work, but maybe try a BR on docbook-dtds so that you have a local copy of the docbook DTDs available?
