either missing docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2 on the system or corrupted sgml catalog. Do you have the previously mentionned dtd installed ? If yes, could you re-install it and check if it fixes the problem ?

[Comment 6 James Wall 2010-12-03 14:53:33 UTC]

That did the trick to get it to install. I would recommend adding a test for the docbook slot to avoid the headache in the future though.

Just to be clear:  Was it missing before?  Or was it broken?  (ie, did you install it new or re-emerge it?)

[Comment 8 James Wall 2010-12-05 20:39:30 UTC]

I had to install the DTD to get hal to emerge successfully

[Comment 9 James Wall 2010-12-05 20:41:02 UTC]

I did not have it installed

I've added the dep.
