Dear Maintainer,
The version of /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook5/db4-upgrade.xsl
supplied in the docbook5-xml package is five years out of date, and the
out of date version contains translation errors which undermine the utility
of the file. A newer version is available from the Docbook repository at
https://sourceforge.net/p/docbook/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/docbook/relaxng/tools/db4-upgrade.xsl
If you upgrade this file, I suggest also checking other files in the Docbook
repository as it's possible it is not the only one that's out of date.
Sid appears to be using the same docbook5-xml package as wheezy, so
the problem is not fixed simply by using the package from sid.
* What led up to the situation?
Translating Docbook 4 -> Docbook 5 documents using db4-upgrade.xsl
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
xsltproc /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook5/db4-upgrade.xsl
<docbook4file.xml>
* What was the outcome of this action?
File was translated to Docbook 5, but was missing elements of the original
Docbook 4 source.
Specifically, <title> elements in <refsynopsisdiv> were dropped.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
All elements of Docbook 4 source to be translated to the comparable Docbook 5
source.
