That means you have the DocBook tools installed but donât have the
DocBook XSL stylesheets installed, so it has to fetch them over the
Internet. Those Internet servers are heavily overloaded because of
all the *other* users with the same system misconfiguration you
have.
Well, in all fairness it has to be pointed out that this
mis-configuration was set up, or at least not actively prevented, by the
packages involved.
Now the need for these packages _is_ actually mentioned somewhere:
winsup/doc/README:
=======================
ADDITIONAL BUILD REQUIREMENTS FOR DOCUMENTATION
dblatex
docbook-xml45
docbook-xsl
docbook2x-texi
gzip
texinfo
xmlto
=======================
But of these only docbox2x-texi is checked for by
winsup/doc/configure.ac. At least xmlto surely has to be checked for,
too, don't you think? And maybe it would be possible to add a check for
the docbook-xml45 package (or equivalent) here, to at least output a
warning.
Or, to turn this around: shouldn't one of these packages:
xmlto
dblatex
docbook2x
formally require package docbook-xml45 (and possibly all the other
docbook-* packages)?
