Once that's done, it seems to work as advertised. How you get networked resources without using the network interface is perhaps why you are a GNOME developer and I'm just some guy trying to use this stuff. But if every other network service, from DNS to email to csup to http, both serving and fetching, works, I have a hard time with the notion that my network or host is misconfigured. Again, I am not using GNOME in any sense other than as infrastructure, like wiring or plumbing. It should be that reliable and, to most people, invisible.

Most of in google suggest that users have reinstall the docbook stuff
help solve their issue like your. Do you have
/usr/local/share/xsl/docbook/manpages/docbook.xsl and
/usr/local/share/xsl/docbook/html/docbook.xsl ? I have no idea why the
-nonet is broke in your machine though.
