Please try reinstalling app-text/docbook-xml-dtd:4.4.

Thanks for the hint, but this didn't change anything.
I have versions 4.1.2-r6 4.2-r2 4.3-r1 4.4-r2 4.5-r1
installed here.

[Comment 3 Mike Gilbert 2016-07-20 16:17:32 UTC]

Interesting. I can reproduce this with portage-9999. It works fine with portage-2.3.0.

[Comment 4 Mike Gilbert 2016-07-20 16:23:42 UTC]

This was obviously an unintentional update in b5365341dad167e314023df95d2c5e0f955962f0.

Here's a patch.

sys-apps/portage-2.3.1, which just made it onto my ~x86 system, seems to be affected by this issue as well, i.e. it doesn't yet seem to contain the patch provided as part of this bug.

As a result, my emerge of sys-apps/portage-2.3.1 failed with the exact same error as quoted by Helmut in his original report. Applying the patch provided by Mike fixed the issue and made everything emerge properly.

I'm not entirely sure if I should have opened a new issue for my report regarding sys-apps/portage-2.3.1 - but since it's the same issue that this bug deals with, I thought I'd rather add my report as a comment here.

In the master branch now:

[Comment 8 Mike Gilbert 2016-09-19 14:02:24 UTC]

I applied the patch in the 2.3.1 ebuild.
