Created attachment 91466 Source installation log of xdg-user-dirs v0.15, including fix required to resolve bug
Building from xdg-user-dirs v0.15 source tarball fails after running ./configure & make as root if package docbook-xsl is not installed on Debian Wheezy.
The following message is thrown during the make process and appears to be similar to bug #66251: warning: failed to load external entity "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl" cannot parse http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl
Expected ./configure to check for docbook-xsl and throw an error if not available.
Attached is the logfile during my build process.
