[publican-list] Publican 3 failing on Fedora 18

Hey Jeff, 


Firstly thanks for the workaround. It pretty much fixed the issues for me, though when I inspected the .spec file I noticed a few other lines (primarily around the "BuildRequires"/" Requires " section) were still being placed on the one line. I've attached a patch that adds to what you mentioned, that I believe should fix all cases where the new line is being removed (as a workaround). I wouldn't be surprised if this happened in other files as well but I haven't looked at them.

Hi folks,

I upgraded from Fedora 17 to Fedora 18 today and repackaged Publican 3
only to discover that, while "publican build" still works just fine,
"publican package" results in the following error:

---
Using XML::LibXSLT on /usr/share/publican/xsl/web-spec.xsl
error: line 51: Too many names: %description -n
Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-Performance_Tuning_Guide-6-en-USThe
Performance Tuning Guide describes how to optimize the
/usr/bin/rpmbuild exited with value 1 at /usr/bin/publican line 924.

To update that, I still get the same error on Fedora 18 even with
Publican rebuilt against:

libxml2-2.9.0-3.fc18.x86_64
perl-XML-LibXML-2.0014-1.fc18.x86_64
libxslt-1.1.28-1.fc18.x86_64
perl-XML-LibXSLT-1.79-1.fc18.x86_64

(the final three of those deps I also rebuilt; only libxml2 is in the
F18 repos in that version, the others come from F19)

Seems FC18 is eating a new line or two.

Work around: diff --git a/publican/datadir/xsl/web-spec.xsl b/publican/datadir/xsl/web-spec.xsl index 9196c6c..0eb6b9d 100644
