bug#26352: [PATCH 1/3] gnu: Update networkmanager to version 1.6.2.

[Hartmut Goebel]

Hi Ludo,

your review came just in time, I was about to push it :-)

Fine for me. How do you want it?

Yes. Each of these tests is accompanied by a "fake" one which passes.

Indeed, adding libxml2 sets XML_CATALOG_FILES. But then it becomes curious:

- With both docbook-xsl and docbook-xml as inputs, the build fails.
(This did not happen with my patch, since I missed adding docbook-xml to
XML_CATALOG_FILES.)

      GEN      man/nmcli.1
    I/O error : Attempt to load network entity
    http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl
    warning: failed to load external entity
    "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl";
    cannot parse
    http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl


- With only docbook-xsl, the build passes while showing some errors,
which are only treated as warnings:

      GEN      man/nmcli.1
    I/O error : Attempt to load network entity
    http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd
    man/nmcli.xml:7: warning: failed to load external entity
    "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd";
    ]>
      ^
    man/nmcli.xml:2060: parser error : Entity 'ndash' not defined
              <para>Success &ndash; indicates the operation
    succeeded.</para>
                                   ^
    man/nmcli.xml:2422: parser error : Entity 'mdash' not defined
        https://bugzilla.gnome.org/ &mdash; product
    <literal>NetworkManager</literal


I'm in favour of using the only docbook-xsl as input, as this makes the
build pass.
