Re: "xsl:import : unable to load manpages/html-synop.xsl" error

You probably won't like this, but I recommend setting up a
CatalogManager.properties file in your CLASSPATH and using Saxon +
Xerces 2 to debug the catalog. There is an example
CatalogManager.properties in the docbook-xsl distribution (at least in
the one from SourceForge, anyway). Set the verbosity level to 99 in
CatalogManager.properties.

To make this work:

You will need to pass a lot of sysproperties (-Dlhs=rhs), in addition
to some resolver and parser class names, on a java command line to
enable everything. You'll need the install for Saxon 6.5, the Jakarta
XML Commons resolver, Xerces 2, and a lucky rabbit's foot.

Here is a full sample command line (which must be edited to reflect
the paths on your system):

java -cp "/usr/share/xerces-2/lib/xercesImpl.jar:/usr/share/xerces-2/lib/xml-apis.jar:/usr/share/saxon-bin/lib/saxon.jar:/usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.70.1/extensions/saxon653.jar:/usr/share/xml-commons/lib/resolver.jar:/etc/xml"
-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl
-Dorg.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration=org.apache.xerces.parsers.XIncludeParserConfiguration
com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet -r
org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.CatalogResolver -x
org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader -y
org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader -o
