The build-docbook-catalog-4.2 script in the files directory, is exactly the same as build-docbook-catalog-4.1.2. This script is designed to add the docbook entries to the general catalogs in /etc/xml. Of course, when installing 4.2 version, the script (which is called from the ebuild thanks to pkg_postinst()) tries to add entries of 4.1.2 files, which is incorrect, and may fail if 4.1.2 files aren't installed. I have rewritten the build-docbook-catalog-4.2 script to match the new docbook version. It seems to works properly, having or not 4.1.2/4.1.2-r3 installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge the current app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.2, which is actually marked as unstable. Actual Results: look at the output, it may have this : >>> /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.2/calstblx.dtd find: /usr/share/xml: No such file or directory could not locate docbookx.dtd for DocBook XML >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...

Created attachment 9525 [details] new build-docbook-catalog-4.2 script Here is the new build-docbook-catalog-4.2 script.
Just reporting that I had success with the fix, http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=9525&action=view Thanks.
okay, after i've had some recent investigations into docbook-xml-dtd i think this is valid, and we also need to version the build-docbook-catalog script, as the versions are slotted. cc'ing me.
Better fix is in bug 52725, which rewrites the build-docbook-catalog script to be version independent
As aron mentioned, this is fixed with his build-docbook-catalog script and bug #52725, so we're over there now.
