If so, then it's not really surprising that you are running out onto the Internet for everything -- the catalog file is essentially empty. Debian has unfortunately had very poor support for XML catalogs until quite recently. I don't know what the current level is like, since I do not use that distribution. As a start to repairing the problem, have a look at http://www.xmlsoft.org/buildDocBookCatalog which is a shell script to make the required entries for DocBook 4.1.2. If you have a different version of the DocBook DTDs installed (quite possible, since 4.2 is the latest release), you will need to tweak the script a little, but not much. Note that this script creates a separate catalog file and then adjusts /etc/xml/catalog to point to the newly created file (only) for DocBook lookups. That is the standard way to do this stuff, rather than populating /etc/xml/catalog with all your entries (makes packaging easier, too). It may be that the Debian DocBook DTD package already ships a catalog file, in which case you only need to add the appropriate lines to /etc/xml/catalog, which you can take out of the above script. If your catalog set up is working, then XInclude processing will also use it (libxml2 uses the catalogs by default). Cheers, Malcolm
