emanegentransportxml not working with libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu4.7 about emane

[sgalgano]

Issue present in 0.8.1 and 0.9.1.

The issue is related to changes in the way DTDs with external entities are handled. There is a sanity check in emanegentransportxml that validates the generated XML against the DTD. This is where the issue is occurring:

515:  my $dtdY = XML::LibXML::Dtd->new("", "$dtdPath"."$dtdFile");
516:  $document->validate($dtdY);

Now is probably a good time to replace the script with a python equivalent using lxml.etree. That has been the plan for a while. The current script is difficult to maintain and adds unnecessary perl packages to the emane installation dependencies.
