Thought you guys wanted to see this, as you're the one maintaining docbook-utils:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docbook-utils/+bug/46716

The error in line 273 occurs if you have a your .docbook file is in a path that contains a space somewhere in the path and you run docbook2html from the .docbook source directory.
example:
/home/my test/docbook/ is the current directory and you have a test.docbook file in that folder.
Then while you're still in that folder, run docbook2html test.docbook

This generates the error in line 273.

Probably missing quotes around the path...

Problem is : who currently maintains docbook-utils ? I don't know if I even still have an account, and on which site?

If no one show up, I can investigate and see if I can regain access, but it's been years i have not touched those files.

Best thing would be if someone could proclam himself/herself as the new maintainer.

When I searched around, I came up with:
http://sources.redhat.com/docbook-tools/
http://sourceware.org/docbook-tools/

Those looks like mirrors of eachother and the mailaddress at the bottom was the one I mailed.

I think it looks like someone at redhat, though nothing has been changed in those scripts for some years, so it might be that it doesn't have a maintainer.

OK, I can take it again and apply your fix... but I don't even know anymore if i have write access, what's the address, and so on. :-(
