>Description:
After installing port textproc/docbook it is not possible to install textproc/docbook-xsl.

The latter depends on the former, but the "install" target does not recognize its presence. It tries to "make install", and this fails because the port is already installed.

In other words:
 - textproc/docbook-xsl depends on textproc/docbook. This means that, for instance, portupgrade installs textproc/docbook before textproc/docbook-xsl.
 - textproc/docbook-xsl's "install" target does not recognize the presence of the installed textproc/docbook. Therefore it tries to run "make install" on textproc/docbook; this fails, because textproc/docbook is already installed.

      You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
      by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of textproc/docbook
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.

>Fix:
This is not a fix, but a workaround:
1- delete installed package docbook-1.4
2- run "make install" for port textproc/docbook-xsl

In other words, docbook-xsl will install if it is installed _without_ docbook.
