Problem with make policykit

Making all in man

I'm not sure what to make of this. I just tried rebuilding the port here and I couldn't reproduce your problem. Make sure you have docbook-xsl installed (it should be as it is a dependency of gnome-doc-utils which is a declared build dependency of this port).

What does

port installed name:docbook

tell you?

Have you tried cleaning the port and trying again?

sudo port clean --all policykit
sudo port install policykit

It looks like it is failing to find docbook.xsl on the net, but it shouldn't be doing that because of the -nonet argument to xsltproc. Should be using the copy supplied by port docbook-xsl.

I'm mistified. Does anyone else understand what's happending here?

A last ditch effort you be to disable building of man pages by adding

--disable-man-pages

to the configure.args in the Portfile

UPDATE from #19784 -- this is due to breakage in /opt/local/etc/xml/catalog. It's missing a line:

<nextCatalog catalog="/opt/local/share/xsl/docbook-xsl/catalog.xml" />

You could add it manually:

xmlcatmgr add nextCatalog /opt/local/share/xsl/docbook-xsl/catalog.xml

This is supposed to be added by docbook-xsl. I strongly recommend that you uninstall and reinstall it, which fixes this:

sudo port -f uninstall docbook-xsl
sudo port install docbook-xsl

Thanks for the help on this. Closing this as fixed for now but looks like there may be a problem with docbook-xsl when updating (as opposed to uninstall/install).
