Yes, it is the same problem.

I do not really understand the workings of xsltproc and the catalogs well enough to know exactly what to do.  This system is new and the pkgsrc installation is totally new from a clean checkout.  Thus, I am not sure how catalogs could be corrupted, but perhaps that is just a symptom of me not understanding how this all works.

If anyone can give me a bit more guidance, I will be happy to investigate further.
