Hi, Brook!

This one seems similar to the one you reported for pkgsrc-2017Q1:

  https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2017/03/23/msg017918.html

There it was suggested that xsltproc should not be fetching any
resources from the Internet, and instead it should use the resources
from the locally installed catalogs.  Then you suggested a patch that
replaced a URL for docbook.xsl with a local file path under PREFIX.  And
then joerg@ suggested that even that shouldn't be necessary and that the
catalog should contain the mapping from the URL to the local file and
everything should just work.  It was suggested that the catalog might be
corrupt or that the catalog is incorrect.  The thread seems to end with
no resolution.  Is this the same problem?

Is it possible to get some debug output for the problem xsltproc
invocation using the XML_CATALOG_FILES and XML_DEBUG_CATALOG environment
variables as described at the bottom of:
