well, openSUSE 15.2 Leap here:
paul@weasel:~$ xmllint --version
xmllint: using libxml version 20907
compiled with: Threads Tree Output Push Reader Patterns Writer SAXv1 FTP HTTP DTDValid HTML Legacy C14N Catalog
XPathXPointer XInclude Iconv ISO8859X Unicode Regexps Automata Expr Schemas Schematron Modules Debug Zlib Lzma
paul@weasel:~$ type -a xmllint
xmllint is /usr/bin/xmllint
paul@weasel:~$ zypper se 'xmllint*'
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
No matching items found.
I wonder why zypper tells me, it's not there. If I use yast2 (GUI) to search it, it's there.
Anyway, DocBook XML is definitely not there, neither in zypper se, nor in yast2.
So why would xmllint try to download DocBook XML stylesheets if DocBook is not installed? I'm not a developer but such
athing doesn't make sense to me.
Cheers,
Paul
