RE: [docbook-apps] Ubuntu package for DocBook XSL 1.76.1

[Eduard Tibet <eduard.tibet@i-free.com>]

Bob, 

As I know, there are no "docbook-xsl-ns" with version 1.76.1 package in stable|testing debian repository. Moreover, the 1.76 version of docbook stylesheet is only in sid (unstable) repo of debian (what ubuntu packages are often derived from): http://packages.debian.org/sid/docbook-xsl-ns

You can try (some risky and tricky, though) use unstable sid repository from debian on ubuntu just to install the package.

1. Install the xml-core and perl (you find information about it a little later) package from the stable repo.
 
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends xml-core perl

2. Add the following string to /etc/apt/sources.list (unstable repo)

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main

3. run to update local repo db:

sudo apt-get update

4. install the package using sid repo

sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends -t sid install docbook-xsl-ns sgml-base

Please, note, that:
- docbook-xsl-ns package depends on xml-core, so better to use xml-core from the stable repo.
- sgml-base package depends on perl (version doesn't matter), so better to use perl from the stable repo - see step 1.

5. Disable (by commenting) or just delete the string deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main
from the /etc/apt/sources.list file and run apt-get update once more.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Ubuntu package for DocBook XSL 1.76.1

I have a requirement to install the DocBook XSL ns stylesheets from a Debian package 
on an Ubuntu system.  However, I can only seem to find version 1.75.2 packaged that 
way, and not the latest 1.76.1.    Does anyone know where to find the updated package?
