Thread: no refentry in acronyms.sgml?

Hi,

I just got this weird error while doing "make distprep" (doc build being
previously enabled):

osx:/pgsql/source/00head/doc/src/sgml/acronyms.sgml:3:0:E: prolog can't be omitted unless CONCUR NO and LINK EXPLICIT
NOand either IMPLYDEF ELEMENT YES or IMPLYDEF DOCTYPE YES 
osx:/pgsql/source/00head/doc/src/sgml/acronyms.sgml:3:0:E: no document type declaration; will parse without validation
Erro:  no refentry: No refentry elements found in "Acronyms".      Acronyms

I have no idea how to fix this.

After looking at this, I noticed that for some unknown reason,
postgres.xml only contained the output generated from acronyms.sgml.
After removing it, it got regenerated from the whole set of files and
"make man" started behaving normally.

I have not fooled with these files lately so I have zero idea where the
bogus postgres.xml came from.

The dependencies in doc/src/sgml/Makefile have moved around a bit
lately, so maybe things got confused.  Still, a 'make clean' should
have fixed it right up.
