[Bug 1456468] [NEW] okular/libepub is unable to read valid epub files

[Thomas Nemeth]

Public bug reported:

   I use a script that creates ePub files. These files pass all tests from epubcheck
and can be read from calibre and fbreader without any problem. However Okular
does not seem to be able to read them.

Starting okular on the command line shows debug output from libepub as shown
in attachments. The point seems to be that libepub does not handle relative paths
in the document structure description files
 (eg : OEBPS/elements/../chapters/1.xhtml - No such file)
