At first I got this error on a amd64 (stable) box while emerging Gnome, then I tryed reinstalling gentoo ~amd64 but I got the same error. I already tried python-updater and remerging libxslt. Below are my emerge --info output and the build error. emerge --info: Portage 2.1.1 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17-gento o-r7 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r7 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 Last Sync: Sat, 09 Sep 2006 13:00:08 +0000 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r3 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.16 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -Os -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shu tdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -Os -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/ distributions/gentoo" LINGUAS="" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/d istfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa amd64 arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cairo cdr cli crypt cups dbus dll oader dri dvd dvdr eds elibc_glibc emboss encode esd fam firefox fortran gdbm gi f gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard in put_devices_mouse ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kde kernel_linux ldap libg++ mad mikmod mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl ssl tcpd tru etype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode userland_GNU video_cards_apm video _cards_ark video_cards_ati video_cards_chips video_cards_cirrus video_cards_cyri x video_cards_dummy video_cards_fbdev video_cards_glint video_cards_i128 video_c ards_i810 video_cards_mga video_cards_neomagic video_cards_nv video_cards_rendit ion video_cards_s3 video_cards_s3virge video_cards_savage video_cards_siliconmot ion video_cards_sis video_cards_sisusb video_cards_tdfx video_cards_tga video_ca rds_trident video_cards_tseng video_cards_v4l video_cards_vesa video_cards_vga v ideo_cards_via video_cards_vmware video_cards_voodoo vorbis xml xorg xv zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTA GE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY This is the error that occurs while emerging gnome-doc-utils: make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-doc-utils-0.6.1/work/gnome-d oc-utils-0.6.1/doc/gnome-doc-make' xsltproc -o gnome-doc-make-C.omf --stringparam db2omf.basename gnome-doc-make -- stringparam db2omf.format 'docbook' --stringparam db2omf.dtd "-//OASIS//DTD DocB ook XML V4.4//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`/./gnome-doc-make.omf.in" ../../xslt/docbook/omf/db2omf.xsl C/gnome-doc-make.xml http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/dbpoolx.mod:6204: parser error : ATTLI ST: no name for Attribute % ^ http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd:136: parser error : xmlPa rsePEReference: no name %dbpool;

FWIW, this was first discussed on the AMD64 list, then bugged at my suggestion after nobody else had any suggestions. Here's the link to the top of the thread: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.amd64/8852 I'm running ~amd64 and while I don't have GNOME installed (KDE's my thing), I was able to test-merge the package without issue, so it's not a general arch issue. After a bug search, I suggested trying python-updater and remerging libxslt based on bugs from previous versions, but that didn't seem to help this time. =8^( I figured it must be time to get the Gentoo GNOME experts involved. =8^) Here's a somewhat abbreviated emerge --info from my install where it merged fine: Portage 2.1.1 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.1/amd64-vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.18-rc6 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-rc6 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 242 Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 Last Sync: Sun, 10 Sep 2006 21:30:02 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: 2.0.0_rc2-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r3 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r2 dev-util/confcache: 0.4.2-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3, 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 2.0.0_rc1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.16 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -Os -pipe -frename-registers -fweb -freorder-blocks -freorder-blocks-and-partition -combine -funit-at-a-time -ftree-pre -fgcse-sm -fgcse-las -fgcse-after-reload -fmerge-all-constants" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -Os -pipe -frename-registers -fweb -freorder-blocks -funit-at-a-time -ftree-pre -fgcse-sm -fgcse-las -fgcse-after-reload -fmerge-all-constants" FEATURES="autoconfig buildpkg candy ccache confcache distlocks fixpackages multilib-strict parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict userfetch" LANG="en_US" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-z,now" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j6 -l5" USE="amd64 7zip X a52 aac acpi alsa amr apm arts asf audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo caps cdparanoia cdr cli crypt css cups curl dbus dga divx4linux dlloader dri dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread eds elibc_glibc emboss encode expat extrafilters fam fame ffmpeg firefox flac font-server foomaticdb gcc64 gdbm gif glibc-omitfp gpm gtk2 hal idn imagemagick imlib input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse isdnlog ithreads jp2 jpeg jpeg2k kde kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility kernel_linux lcms libwww linguas_en linuxthreads-tls lm_sensors logitech-mouse logrotate lzo lzw lzw-tiff mad maildir mikmod mjpeg mng motif mp3 mp4 mpeg musicbrainz ncurses network no-old-linux nolvm1 nomirrors nptl nptlonly offensive ogg openexr opengl oss pam pcre pdf pdflib pic png ppds pppd profile python qt3 quicktime radeon readline reflection scanner session slang smime speex spell spl ssl tcltk theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1 type1-fonts udev unicode usb userland_GNU userlocales vcd video_cards_radeon visualization vorbis x264 xcomposite xine xinerama xml xml2 xmms xorg xosd xpm xrandr xv xvid yv12 zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL I'll attach an emerge --pretend gnome so you know what packages I do /not/ have merged, in case it's a conflict with something previously merged while attempting to merge gnome. (gnome-doc-utils had no unfilled dependencies of its own, making it a quick test merge. =8^)
Created attachment 96796 [details] emerge -pv gnome output (from a merges-fine system) emerge --pretend --verbose gnome output, truncated at the package in question. Again, this is from a system where the gnome-doc-utils-0.6.1 package merges just fine. Possible conflict between something in this list (and therefore presumably already merged on the problem system) and the package in question?
try re-emerging: emerge -av =app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.4* and report back. Thanks
