Solution

I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl

Stage: Build

I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl
warning: failed to load external entity "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl"

compilation error: file ./xml2po.1.xml line 17 element refentry
xsltParseStylesheetProcess : document is not a stylesheet

Solution: Install docbook-xsl or shell out (option 4) and edit the Makefile of the offending component to remove the --nonet parameter from the xsltproc command that generates this error.
