This is caused by the absence of correctly configured XML Catalogs
on your system. When XML Catalogs are available, URLs are
transformed into local file references. In particular, Debian does
not provide XML Catalogs. For more information about XML Catalogs
see the xsltproc documentation <http://xmlsoft.org/catalog.html>.
