Editor 6.0 m010 mysterious debug message: conrule literal ref to ent not declared "%s"

Hi,

More work on migrating our 5.3 m110 authoring environments to 6.0 m010. I
just got this:

On opening an XML instance in one of my environments, the Arbortext Editor
Debug Messages window opens and says:
agettext: Msgid not found in message file: Warning conrule literal
contains a reference
to an entity not declared in the FOSI. Literal is: "%s". Conrule will be
compiled under
the assumption that the reference will resolve using the instance subset
and DTD
at composition time.

Of course I can't find the string %s anywhere in my FOSI let alone in a
conrule.

Did anyone run into this or something similar?

Editor opens the FOSI without complaint and check completeness doesn't turn
up any problems.

Hi Paul--



The "%s" is a place holder, like in a printf() statement. It's there so
you can give a localized error message with some error-specific detail.
It's usually a file name or a line number or something like that. In
this case it's probably meant to be replaced with the markup of the
entity reference that is triggering the problem.



So it looks like there are two nested errors here: the primary one is
something to do with an undefined entity in the FOSI. But there also
seems to be something wrong with the message data files, or some
configuration related to them, that is causing Arbortext to fail when it
tries to lookup the text for the error (in case you were running Editor
in a French or Chinese environment, so you'd see the message in the
appropriate language).

LOL! Forest for the trees ... thanks, Clay. Too ready to see problems with
MY stuff, I missed the obvious Arbortext bug obscuring my actual problem.
No joy yet, but I'll stop looking for %s!
