Created attachment 291515 [details] example docbook man file
In fact, problem is not in docbook-style-xsl-1.73.2-4.fc8 but in %postun of docbook-style-xsl-1.73.2-3.fc8 (and appeared once docbook-style-xsl-1.73.2-4.fc8 came to stable). For details and workaround check comments in duplicate bugzilla #428531 , sorry for troubles. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 428531 ***
