No matter what you do, if you somehow manage to get it installed, ever other docbook port interferes with the installation of docbook-sk by trying to reinstall it which cannot be accomplished. The docbook-sk poort is broken and cannot be deinstalled or reinstalled ever. The only way to fix things is to manually edit the various catalog files and remove the docbook-sk files by hand. In actual practice, this port does not seem to be really required since manually removing it seems to have absolutely no effect on the various ports that purport to require it. >How-To-Repeat: Install it on an empty system. Attempt to install any port which has other docbook requirements. Observe the errors which occur. >Fix: remove docbook-sk from all ports. Delete it from the system. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
