Bug 207252: devel/xdg-utils fails
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207252



--- Description ---
"scripts/Makefile" calls "/usr/local/bin/xmlto". This is a Perl script
that calls "/usr/local/bin/xmllint". xmllint fails because it is
unable to load a DTD file from remote.

The initial error message is:

  Could not load the external subset
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd"

As you can easily experience yourself the file is available. Therefore
the bug probably is inside "xmllint".

You can temporariliy fix the failure either

  - by deleting the "--nonet" option inside "/usr/local/bin/xmlto".
  - by adding the option "--skip-validation" to the xmlto commands
    in "scripts/Makefile".

devel/xdg-utils is pulled in by www/chromium.
