docbook-sgml (and xml) module needs some more tuning. For example the 
removal of previous sgml/xml directory should be if-ed to not remove 
something what does not exist anymore and similar. I have plan to improve 
them but not now. I have just installed 1.6.5 32bit and started to fix 
lunar rebuild compilation bugs.

My work on sgml/xml was not planned. Someday I ended up with broken 
xextproto module because of bad xml. So started to fix what installs xml 
and sgml because they are similar. xextproto uses different docbooks for 
xml validation so this is good probe for correct xml docbook install.
Meanwhile someone overcame this by putting OPTS+=" --without-xmlto" into 
BUILD of xextproto. If you remove this workaround you can use xextproto 
again as verification of correct xml installation.

As far as xml/sgml does not return build error or other red lunar messages 
and apps using xml/sgml docbooks continue to compile well I consider those 
"fixed" for now.

have a nice day,
