>Description:
textproc/docbook-sk is fundamentally broken. No matter what you
do, if you somehow manage to get it installed, ever other
docbook port interferes with the installation of docbook-sk by
trying to reinstall it which cannot be accomplished. The
docbook-sk poort is broken and cannot be deinstalled or
reinstalled ever. The only way to fix things is to manually
edit the various catalog files and remove the docbook-sk files
by hand. In actual practice, this port does not seem to be
really required since manually removing it seems to have
absolutely no effect on the various ports that purport to
require it.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install it on an empty system. Attempt to install any port
which has other docbook requirements. Observe the errors which
occur.
>Fix:
remove docbook-sk from all ports. Delete it from the system.
