Installing it on amd64 -current from May 2, 2011 gave me the following in
/usr/local/bin/
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 4726 May 4 12:21 sgml2xml-isoent
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 3765 May 4 12:21 docbook2texi
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 3764 May 4 12:21 docbook2man
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 13219 May 4 12:21 db2x_xsltproc
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 59653 May 4 12:21 db2x_texixml
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 69256 May 4 12:21 db2x_manxml
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 13048 May 4 12:21 utf8trans
I am not sure what is the right way to test this. Downloaded a sample document
from the docbook site (their docbook 5.0 howto.xml) and got the following error
$ docbook2man howto.xml
namespace warning : Namespace default prefix was not found
<phrase role='unicode yes'>YES</phrase>
^
namespace warning : Namespace default prefix was not found
<phrase role='unicode no'>NO</phrase>
^
$ db2x_xsltproc howto.xml
warning: failed to load external entity ""
cannot parse
If there is something else I should try please let me know.
Thanks,
