Calling mk4ht dblatex some_file.tex results in this error:

System call: java -classpath /usr/share/tex4ht/tex4ht.jar xtpipes -i
/usr/share/texmf/tex4ht/xtpipes/ -o some_file.xml some_file.tmp
--- xtpipes error 32 --- Missing 4xt script file name
--- Warning --- System return: 256

This makes it impossible to create docbook files from a LaTeX
source.

The problem originally described in this bug appears only when using
the Komascript document classes. With standard LaTeX-classes it works
OK.

It turned out that the problem only occurs if the Koma class
'scrreprt' is used with the 'docbook.4ht' definitions.
Just like the other '.4ht' files this file contains a 'whitelist' of
classes it supports which does not contain scrreprt (just as
finetuning for this documentclass is missing).

Thus the problem simply seems to be that 'scrreprt' is not supported.

Hi Martin,
Given the fact that just one document class is affected I lower the
severity to minor. Attached is a patch from upstream, which solves the
problem for me. Does it the same for you?

Nearly two years later: still does not work. The java class is not found:

Not sure what is going on here. The location of the jar file above is
definitely not correct.

Hi,
According to /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex4ht/base/unix/tex4ht.env
it should search for the jar file in

<docbk>
.xml cp %%1.xml %%1.tmp
.xml java -classpath %%~/tex4ht/bin/tex4ht.jar xtpipes -i
%%~/tex4ht/xtpipes/ -o %%1.xml %%1.tmp
</docbk>

where %%~ expands to TEXMFDIST.
