during the last build filelight on Debian 8 (Jessie), I came across a serious problem with Docbook - catalogs in SGML format is no longer supported. So I prepared a XML version of catalogs. Please, before I'll push the patch, test it on other distributions. See bug 2077: http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2077

So far I did not inquire about the details of what is happening in docbook tool chain, but I have prepared catalogs in XML format.

Well done Slavek. Yesterday I run a new build and I can confirm the problem on Jessie. Tonight I will try out your patch as well and report back. Anyhow before we push to git, I think we should try to find out what caused the problem. Maybe with a few adjustment somewhere, we will not need to convert all docbooks. I am a little short of time before the weekend, as already said :(
