Publican issue

[Ruediger Landmann]

Hi all -- sorry to start the year off on an inauspicious note, but:

Today, we have an issue where Publican on Fedora 13 and Fedora 14 stops 
replacing entities. In other words, text like "Copyright &YEAR; 
&HOLDER;" appears in your locally built documents.

Publican depends on perl-HTML-Tree and a related module, 
perl-XML-TreeBuilder. New versions for both are available and making 
their way through Fedora updates. It seems that updating one without the 
other creates the scenario described above.

I recommend:

1. Update perl-HTML-Tree to the new version (4.1-1). This package is 
already in general release, so a normal "yum update" will get it.

2. Download and install the new version (4.0-3) of perl-XML-TreeBuilder 
from Koji.[1] Clicking on the link will normally allow KPackageManager 
or PackageManager to install the package directly. If not, download the 
package and run "yum localinstall <packagename> --nogpgcheck"

3. If Publican then works again as expected, log into the Fedora update 
system (Bodhi) with your Fedora account and leave positive Karma for 
perl-XML-TreeBuilder.[2]  This ensures that the package sees general 
release as quickly as possible.

Cheers
Rudi
