Weird!!!  In my system, it complained just like yours, however, after
installing “docbook-xsl” everything went fine!  Make sure that
“docbook-xsl” is installed correctly, re-install it if you have to.

Also, if everything is fine with your installation, you should find the
following files in your system:
        /etc/xml/docbook-xsl.xml
        /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/catalog.xml

and in the file “/etc/xml/catalog”, you should see the following two
long lines:
<delegateURI uriStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/" catalog="file:///etc/xml/docbook-xsl.xml"/>
<delegateSystem systemIdStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/" catalog="file:///etc/xml/docbook-xsl.xml"/>


I hope this helps.
Ziyad.
