Hi Gerrit & Marcel,

lovely. This works (almost) as expected ;)

The group elements don't get lost anymore.

Unfortunately, the xml:base parameter in the group element is ignored
when updating the catalog, and I end up with my relative path being
substituted with an absolute one. But that's Marcel's plate again :) Can
the postinstall script test whether an element is already available and
replace only the relevant part, ie. make the replace parameter of the
xmlcatalog --add command variable? Hm, I can see, that making this work
in all cases can easily become nasty. Alternatively, you could add a
note to future announcements...

Anyway, thanks for your quick response and good work.

Patrick
