I don't know what this last sentence means.  It isn't enough to install
the stylesheets.  To be able to use them you also need to install
xsltproc, right?  In Red Hat that's in the libxslt package...

So, yes, there is a bug... but I don't know what you mean... I'm
wondering why you didn't install xsltproc to work around it.  :-)

peace & happiness,
martin
