Seems very similar to bug 103322 (parser errors in building gnome apps), but that bug seems to have been resolved in portage before I even started, and the resolution (updating gnome-doc-utils and/or libxslt) does not fix the problem. (In fact, I never even had the older gnome-doc-utils or libxslt). My gnome-doc-utils is now at 0.4.2 and libxslt is at 1.1.15 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unmask necessary packages, upgrade python, and emerge gnome as per http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/gnome/howtos/gnome-2.12-upgrade.xml) on a fresh system (X11 installed, but no previous gnome install) NOTE: Strangely, the build occasionally fails at different times (generation of char-palette-C.omf succeeds once in a while, but the following generation of char-palette-es.omf fails). Actual Results: build failed at gnome-applets-2.12.1-r1, with the following compilation errors: make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-applets-2.12.1-r1/work/gnome-applets-2.12.1/po' Making all in charpick make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-applets-2.12.1-r1/work/gnome-applets-2.12.1/charpick' Making all in help make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-applets-2.12.1-r1/work/gnome-applets-2.12.1/charpick/help' xsltproc -o char-palette-C.omf --stringparam db2omf.basename char-palette --stringparam db2omf.format 'docbook' --stringparam db2omf.dtd "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN" --stringparam db2omf.lang C --stringparam db2omf.omf_dir "/usr/share/omf" --stringparam db2omf.help_dir "/usr/share/gnome/help" --stringparam db2omf.omf_in "`pwd`/./char-palette.omf.in" `/usr/bin/pkg-config --variable db2omf gnome-doc-utils` C/char-palette.xml http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.3/ent/iso-grk4.ent:1: parser error : Content error in the external subset HTTP/1.1 200 OK ^ http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.3/ent/iso-grk4.ent:1: parser error : Content error in the external subset HTTP/1.1 200 OK ^ http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.3/ent/iso-grk4.ent:1: parser error : Content error in the external subset HTTP/1.1 200 OK ^ unable to parse C/char-palette.xml make[3]: *** [char-palette-C.omf] Error 6 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-applets-2.12.1-r1/work/gnome-applets-2.12.1/charpick/help' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-applets-2.12.1-r1/work/gnome-applets-2.12.1/charpick' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-applets-2.12.1-r1/work/gnome-applets-2.12.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

Does this command: xmlcatalog /etc/xml/docbook "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN" return something like: file:///usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.3/docbookx.dtd Thanks!
No, when running that command I get: No entry for PUBLIC -//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN (In reply to comment #1) > Does this command: > xmlcatalog /etc/xml/docbook "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN" > > return something like: > file:///usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.3/docbookx.dtd > > Thanks!
However, running: xmlcatalog /etc/xml/docbook "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN" Gets me: file:///usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.4/docbookx.dtd
do you have app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.3 installed? if not, emerge it, retry the applets, and report back. Thanks!
emerging app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.3 solved the problem - everything compiles nicely now (I think this means I now have both 4.3 and 4.4 installed, and I assume that's ok). Do you need any other information from me in order to help fix the bug permanently? (if it is indeed a bug, and not just some manifestation of my own stupidity) Thanks!
Certainly, a dependency on docbook-xml-dtd-4.3 is necessary. It's been fixed in CVS. Thank you for your report.
