[wpkg-users] Q: Failing to parse xml "Error parsing xml 'snip': The stylesheet does not contain a document element. The stylesheet may be empty, or it may not be a well-formed XML document."

[John N.]

I'm trying to debug a WPKG package.  The package xml passes my parser check, but when run, WPKG reports an error:

"Error parsing xml 'snip': The stylesheet does not contain a document element.  The stylesheet may be empty, or it may not be a well-formed XML document."
One of our web coders suggests it may be a problem with the upstream schema located at "http://www.wpkg.org/packages /xsd/packages.xsd" ?

I'd appreciate any pointers if anyone can point out what I am missing...
