[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#980931: Calls stat() on URLs

[Christoph Biedl]

Package: xsltproc
Version: 1.1.34-4
Severity: minor

Dear maintainer,

while debugging other issues, I noticed xsltproc tries to access URLs as
files:

    execve("/usr/bin/xsltproc", ["xsltproc", "--stringparam", "callout.graphics", "0", "--stringparam", "navig.graphics", "0", "--stringparam", "admon.textlabel", "1", "--stringparam", "admon.graphics", "0", "/etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/manpage.xsl", "/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/nagios-tang.1.xml"], 0x55558d8f28b8 /* 73 vars */ <unfinished ...>

    stat("http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl", 0x7ffdda5dfd10) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    stat("http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl", 0x7ffdda5dfbb0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    stat("http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd", 0x7ffdda5dfda0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    stat("http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd", 0x7ffdda5dfc40) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    stat("http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd", 0x7ffdda5dfc40) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    stat("http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd",  <unfinished ...>
    stat("http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd", 0x7ffdda5dfbe0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    stat("http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd", 0x7ffdda5dfbe0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    stat("http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd", 0x7ffdda5dfbe0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    stat("http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd", 0x7ffdda5dfbd0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    stat("http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd", 0x7ffdda5dfbd0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)


While not bad in general, it feels weird. After all, these URLs are
valid file names as well, and strange things could happen if such files
really exist.

Mind to check?
