gtk-doc fails to configure

[vlsd (Vlad)]

I cannot get the gtk-doc port to configure. Here is the snippet from main.log:

I installed docbook-xml-4.3 and it solved the problem. Apparently just having docbook-xml as a dependency is not enough...

In fact, I just realized that I had docbook-xml installed but not docbook-xml-4.3. I must have removed the latter at some point, and even though I don't remember forcing the removal. Since docbook-xml-4.3 is listed as a dependency to docbook-xml, shouldn't trying to remove it generate a warning and require the -f flag?

It does here:
