Description:   Opened: 2008-02-04 20:32 0000 
As strange as this sounds, this package assumes that /usr/bin/xmlcatalog is
available during pkg_postinst, even when ROOT != /, which causes problems for
the release.  Currently, libxml2 gets pulled into stage1 by gettext.  Well,
there's no guarantee that the seed stage will have xmlcatalog, and stage1 is
built with ROOT=/tmp/stage1root, so we're trying to run a non-existent
xmlcatalog from / and writing to ${ROOT}etc/xml/catalog, which always produces
a 0-byte file with no contents.  Since the ebuild only runs the xmlcatalog code
when ${ROOT}etc/xml/catalog doesn't exist, we end up with an empty file in the
stages.

I'm attaching a simple fix to this bug, which causes the xmlcatalog code to not
run for USE=build or USE=bootstrap... this will ensure the xmlcatalog is
created during stage3, when ROOT=/ and /usr/bin/xmlcatalog will definitely be
available.

Here's the patch.  It simply skips the rest of pkg_postinst if USE includes
build or bootstrap.

If nobody objects, I'd like to go ahead and commit this.

looks ok to me. Just stick a comment like 

# Fix for release media, see bug #208887
