Wolfgang, Thanks very much for this. I was hoping it would end up packaged (even if I don't have the skills to do it myself). If there's a way I can help, please shout.

When building something for main (using xsltproc), you should always make sure that it's using things from main, and not some random version somewhere on internet. This doesn't seem to be a package that's in main, but it's probably still a good idea to use --nonet, so you can actually get consitent results over time.

It is, if the stylesheets are not installed locally or if there is no catalog entry. Both are possible, because the necessary package had been removed from Debian. The OP was right to remove this option, if he observed the error: I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://db2latex.sourceforge.net/xsl/docbook.xsl warning: failed to load external entity "http://db2latex.sourceforge.net/xsl/docbook.xsl"; first.

It points to a broken stylesheet, which is indeed the issue. The problem has been fixed in the Debian package in version 0.8pre1-3. The diff for this fix looks like this: > --- db2latex-xsl-0.8pre1.orig/xsl/docbook.xsl > +++ db2latex-xsl-0.8pre1/xsl/docbook.xsl > @@ -11,6 +11,8 @@ > xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0"; > exclude-result-prefixes="doc" version='1.0'> > > + > + > > > > @@ -63,7 +65,6 @@ > > > > - > > > @Paul: Because the stylesheets cannot be fixed online, download them from the sf.net page and fix this issue locally or install the db2latex package from snapshot.debian.net. In the first case, you need to adjust the import path of xsl/docbook.xsl to point to the local copy of db2latex. In the latter case, no further actions needs to be taken, because the package installs a catalog file, that automatically rewrites the online location to the local installation location. Alternatively use some newer package like dblatex or docbook-xsl/fop. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I probably need to learn rather a lot before I can do that! Try seeing how a working XSL conversion works - apt-get source pilot-qof for example, and build that. Watch the commands being used and start from there. This is well off-topic for debian-devel and I don't have time to tutor you through XSL and docbook either on or off list. -- Neil Williams = http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ pgpR4ZfHmjb3w.pgp Description: PGP signature

It usually reflects a change in the XSL support packages where the original stylesheets have been replaced or updated with a new package. It is just plain rude to go over the internet to build things like this so --nonet is actually very useful. The error that led to you removing --nonet is actually more important than any results you get AFTER removing --nonet. ;-) > so that it can > download "http://db2latex.sourceforge.net/xsl/docbook.xsl";, but now it > fails: See above.

Build the Debian Reference Card
Hi, Has anyone any advice on how to build the Reference Card[1] from source? I have removed the "--nonet" from the xsltproc call so that it can download "http://db2latex.sourceforge.net/xsl/docbook.xsl";, but now it fails: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/refcard/trunk$ make xsltproc --novalid --xinclude preproc.xsl entries-bg.dbk | \ xsltproc --novalid --xinclude --stringparam format a4 refcard.xsl - > refcard-bg-a4.tex compilation error: file http://db2latex.sourceforge.net/xsl/qandaset.mod.xsl line 366 element template xsl:template: error duplicate name 'question.answer.label' make: *** [refcard-bg-a4.tex] Error 5 rm refcard-bg-a4.tex I know very little about docbook/xslt - any advice welcome!
