Well, it's a bit deeper down the tree than that. I re-installed libxslt,
but scrollkeeper fails to configure as it can't find its DTD. I'm still
trying to figure out what I need to install to fix that. I've tried all
of the docbook ports as well as sdocbook-xml, p5-XML-Parse, and
xmlcatmgr. Still no joy. :-(

Any idea how to get the DTD back or am I facing a major re-install of
the whole thing?
