db2x_docbook2texi from docbook2X is used for that.

xmlto is doing this stuff, maybe the pdf option requires another package?

Good question.  I'm running that on Fedora with the following docbook
packages installed:

  docbook-dtds
  docbook-style-xsl
  docbook-style-dsssl
  docbook-utils
  docbook2X

xmlto adds a dependency to flex.  docbook2X depends on texinfo, texinfo
comes with a number of packages on the far side of infinity.

Jon?  Any idea?


Thanks,
