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.
