Description petr.sumbera 2013-01-29 15:17:30 UTC 
Tested with libxml 2.9.0:

$ cat myprefix\:mysuffix.xml 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM "/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1">

<service_bundle type='manifest' name='myprefix:mysuffix'>
<service
        name='myprefix/mysuffix'
        type='service'
        version='1'>
</service>
</service_bundle>

$ xmllint --valid myprefix\:mysuffix.xml
myprefix:mysuffix.xml:2: warning: failed to load external entity "myprefix:///usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1"
<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM "/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1">
                                                                              ^
myprefix:mysuffix.xml:4: validity error : Validation failed: no DTD found !
<service_bundle type='manifest' name='myprefix:mysuffix'>
                                                        ^
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM "/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1">
<service_bundle type="manifest" name="myprefix:mysuffix">
<service name="myprefix/mysuffix" type="service" version="1">
</service>
</service_bundle>


Where with absolute or relative path it will work:

$ xmllint --valid ./myprefix\:mysuffix.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM "/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1">
<service_bundle type="manifest" name="myprefix:mysuffix">
<service name="myprefix/mysuffix" type="service" version="1">
</service>
</service_bundle>
Comment 1 Daniel Veillard 2013-01-29 22:12:50 UTC 
yeah, somehow it is taken as an URI-Reference and then reparsed and
: looks like the protocol separator ... Annoying, this looks like a
real bug, I will need to look at it !

Also see the discussion in bug 668245.
Comment 3 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 13:21:48 UTC 
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.
