GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 710636
xmllint doesn't always terminate with a non-zero exit status in case of bad usage

In case of bad usage, xmllint should terminate with a non-zero exit status (more precisely, 1), but this is not always the case. For instance, while "xmllint" fails, "xmllint --nonet" doesn't, though the error by the user is very similar. My Debian bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=727075 with libxml2-utils 2.9.1+dfsg1-3
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
