(In reply to comment #0) Just wanted to note that I have a similar problem installing gnome-doc-utils (as well as some other software), see bug 157839, but I do have docbook-xml-dtd-4.4 installed. To be precise, I have both app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2-r6 app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.4-r1 installed. /Mike
Please attach the complete emerge log (and try to provide all relevant information when you open new bugs; reports that just say "foobar fails to build" are rarely useful). I tried unmerging docbook-xml-dtd-4.4 on a testing system and then emerging gnome-doc-utils-0.8.0, and even though it shows a warning (it does look like a missing dep), the emerge doesn't fail.
To reproduce it, I had to remove refrences to docbook-xml-dtd-4.4 from /etc/xml/docbook shown below: <public publicId="-//OASIS//ELEMENTS DocBook XML Information Pool V4.4//EN" u ri="file:///usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.4/dbpoolx.mod"/> <public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN" uri="file:///usr/share/ sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.4/docbookx.dtd"/> <public publicId="-//OASIS//ENTITIES DocBook XML Character Entities V4.4//EN" uri="file:///usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.4/dbcentx.mod"/> <public publicId="-//OASIS//ENTITIES DocBook XML Notations V4.4//EN" uri="fil e:///usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.4/dbnotnx.mod"/> <public publicId="-//OASIS//ENTITIES DocBook XML Additional General Entities V4.4//EN" uri="file:///usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.4/dbgenent.mod"/> <public publicId="-//OASIS//ELEMENTS DocBook XML Document Hierarchy V4.4//EN" uri="file:///usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.4/dbhierx.mod"/> <public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML CALS Table Model V4.4//EN" uri="f ile:///usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.4/calstblx.dtd"/> <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4 " rewritePrefix="file:///usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.4"/> <rewriteURI uriStartString="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4" rewrit ePrefix="file:///usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.4"/> Emerge fails with errors from xsltproc: error : Operation in progress http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd:123: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/dbcentx.mod" %dbcent; ^ Entity: line 1: %dbcent; ^ These take really long time to show up, so I'll attach complete log if it is still needed.
I've added the missing dependency to gnome-doc-utils' ebuild. Don't forget to re-emerge docbook-xml-dtd to bring your XML catalog to a sane state again. Thanks.
