docbook-dtd412-xml package installed. If it is installed, the package probably
did not register the DTD in the catalog properly. Consult

seems you have a corrupt /etc/xml/catalog (it asks for docbook-xml-dtd.. )

one possible solution is :

emerge -C app-text/docbook-xml-dtd app-text/docbook-xml-simple-dtd
emerge  app-text/docbook-xml-dtd app-text/docbook-xml-simple-dtd

as this will make sure the dtds are installed and correct. please try.

That did the trick for the problem I told you about on the dev channel, where
every omf file took 1 minute with 0% CPU. 

emerge -u scrollkeeper works now, too. Thanks.
