Description
From blfs-support:
In shared-mime-info 2.4, the xmlto documentation rule was moved from meson.build to data/meson.build. The Meson logic that detects whether xmlto supports --skip-validation no longer works, so xmlto is invoked without the flag.
On a clean LFS/BLFS system, xmlto fails because it tries to validate against the DocBook 4.1.2 DTD, which is not installed. This causes the build to abort during the documentation step.
Manually adding '--skip-validation' to the xmlto command in data/meson.build fixes the issue.
This should either be restored in Meson’s detection logic or exposed as a Meson option so downstream builders can enable it without patching the build files manually.

Because people frequently missed the configuration section we already added that "various BLFS packages request DocBook XML DTD version 4.x before V4.5, so the following step must be done for those packages to be built successfully" line.

I don't know what we can do about users not reading what we already have.
Looks like the OP has not run the commands in "Configuring DOCBOOK-4.5 XML DTD". I can build shared-mime-info with instructions in the book if those commands have been run. I suggest to close as "invalid".
