Aw, crap. I thought I'd fixed this.
Technically, the FDP only needs version 3.1 of the DTD available. Which
is why the docproj/ port only specifies 3.1.
However, doc/share/mk/doc.docbook.mk contains
DOCBOOKCATALOG= ${PREFIX}/share/sgml/docbook/catalog
That file is only created by the docbook/ meta-port, it's not created by
any of the docbook-* ports.
However, if you step back a week or so, the dependency line in docproj/
looked like
${PREFIX}/share/sgml/docbook:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/docbook
This triggered a bug where one of the other docbook-* ports was installed,
creating ${PREFIX}/share/sgml/docbook, which satisfied the dependency,
without installing the correct version of DocBook. I thought I'd fixed
it by changing the dependency line.
The fix I'm about to commit is to change the dependency line to
${PREFIX}/share/sgml/docbook/catalog:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/docbook
i.e., now it's depending on the file existing, not just the directory.
Since this file is only created by the docbook/ port, and not by any of
the docbook-*/ ports, this dependency will only be fulfilled if the
meta-port is correctly installed, and should fix the problem you're
having.
The alternative fix is to doc/share/mk/doc.docbook.mk, and would involve
changing
DOCBOOKCATALOG= ${PREFIX}/share/sgml/docbook/catalog
to
DOCBOOKCATALOG= ${PREFIX}/share/sgml/docbook/3.1/catalog
However, when we switch to DocBook 3.2 (whenever it's released) that would
involve a change to doc.docbook.mk instead, and I'm not sure that's
appropriate. I'm happy to be convinved otherwise though.
