 > I can't reproduce the error. There is no maintainer for this port. If
 you can fix it and submit a patch, that would be helpful.

 The attached patch works around the issue by passing "--skip-validation"
 to xmlto during the build phase. To address the actual reported problem,
 though:

 syntax error that propagates up and makes it look like an I/O error

 I inspected the files in question, xmlif.xml and xmlto.xml, and they're
 both valid xml. (The only thing I found which could be problematic was a
 right single quote character (’) on line 272 of xmlto.xml. Why they didn't
 just use the ascii apostrophe I have no idea.)

 #27387 is evidence to the contrary. And passing the -p flag did not solve
 the problem.
