>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.
