Following Stuart's advise, the error I am presented with is:

warning: failed to load external entity
"http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl";
compilation error: file /etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/epub.xsl line 13
element import
xsl:import : unable to load
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl

Presumably this is related to the recent trouble's SourceForge has
been having. I _do_ have the docbook 1.76.1, which
/etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/epub.xsl assures me will be preferred. I do
not have any epub/docbook.xsl bundled with my local docbook, however.

Is 1.76.1 too old?
