dbl1mn.ent: "1058" is not a character ...

[Matthias Apitz <guru@unixarea.de>]

Hello,

I'm new to this list and have zero knowledge about DokBook at all. I
subscribed because I'm a maintainer of a port in FreeBSD which compiles
some piece of software using DokBook for the manuals. See:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207299
for more background.

The make process spills out a lot of error messages, like:

docbook2ps -d ../stylesheet.dsl manual-en-sed.sgml
Using catalogs: /usr/local/share/sgml/catalog
Using stylesheet:
/usr/ports/print/muttprint/work/muttprint-0.73/doc/manual/en/../stylesheet.dsl
Working on:
/usr/ports/print/muttprint/work/muttprint-0.73/doc/manual/en/manual-en-sed.sgml
jade:/usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl/modular/print/../common/../common/dbl1mn.ent:8:28:E:
"1058" is not a character number in the document character set
jade:/usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl/modular/print/../common/../common/dbl1mn.ent:9:28:E:
"1090" is not a character number in the document character set
jade:/usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl/modular/print/../common/../common/dbl1mn.ent:10:28:E:
"1061" is not a character number in the document character set
...

If one looks into the referenced file dbl1mn.ent it looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>

<!ENTITY Abstract        "&#1058;&#1086;&#1074;&#1095; &#1072;&#1075;&#1091;&#1091;&#1083;&#1075;&#1072;">
<!ENTITY abstract        "&#1090;&#1086;&#1074;&#1095; &#1072;&#1075;&#1091;&#1091;&#1083;&#1075;&#1072;">
...

the Codepoints seems to be Russian language.

Questions:

1) What is this file good for?
2) What is the reason of the errors, a conflict between
   encoding="US-ASCII" and the Unicode Codepoints?
3) How this should be fixed or at least suppressed, because the
   generated PDF (...) is looking fine?

Thanks in advance
