I may have spoken too soon.  This is an error that has been going on for
over two years, according to the archive.  I attempted all the hacks, in
order, as they were listed in the thread.  They didn't work.  Then I
tried them again.  This time, the package emerged.  Something was order
dependent, I have no idea what.  It was either emerging the new docbook
stylesheets or linking to the old directory
'/usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylsheets-1.66.1'.  Not certain what it
was, but it is working now.  Thanks for the reply.
