GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 778614
xmllint Return Code 10 (XPath set is empty) not documented
Last modified: 2021-07-05 13:21:41 UTC
The man page for xmllint only lists Return Codes up to and including 9. However, if a valid XPath does not match anything, the message "XPath set is empty" is printed and xmllint terminates with return code 10 (XMLLINT_ERR_XPATH).
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.
