Hi Arnaud

Digging into this in a bit more detail I think I hit two issues:

1) My local sbuild environment was failing but has now started working again

2) The i386 build always fails in PPA

Looking at what this step does I think the problem is that a2x uses xsltproc which imports stylesheets from external references. In 1) I think I was being hit by issues with the external reference site (http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/xhtml/chunk.xsl) but in 2) the PPA/Distribution buildd's don't allow general network access outside of the archive so it will always fail to import this external reference.

As the documentation forms part of the architecture independent package it only gets built on i386 - hence why amd64, armel and powerpc builds all completed successfully.

I guess options include disabling this part of the documentation build - not ideal but would work around this problem.

Cheers

James
