Ah; I then had the same problem with net-libs/libsoup[-2.2.2], blocking my access to upgrading evolution, which broke in the course of other updates overnight, and is thus Really Important. That motivated me to figure out that if I simply run `/usr/bin/build-docbook-catalog` (from app-text/build-docbook-catalog-1.2, of course), everything is peachy... Obviously, it would have been appropriate for the the appropriate ebuild to have run build-docbook-catalog at the appropriate point.
Ebuilds for docboox-xml-dtd-4.1.2* (used for docs generation in at-spi et al.) do run build-docbook-catalog.
