rafaelff [1] filed a deletion request for docbook-xml-dtd [2]:

This package is a partially duplicates the package 'docbook-xml'
without file conflicts, with the aggravation of messing the XML
catalog set being the latter.
This AUR package provides docbook DTD v4.4, which is already provided
by docbook-xml, although the files are installed in another directory.
However, the main problem of this package is that, once installed, it
messes completely the search path of other versions of DTD already
provided by 'docbook-xml'. For example, installing this AUR package
makes impossible to build gtk-doc, which reports DTD v4.3 is not
installed, even though 'docbook-xml' provides it.
Besides, it stores XML catalog in /etc/xml/docbook, which is
deprecated for 'docbook-xml' - this official package stores in
/etc/xml/catalog and /etc/xml/docbook-xml
Anyway, this package dangerously breaks docbook's XML search path.
Please delete.
