I found the problem:
$(wildcard %/*.sgml) in the line

$(MANUAL).%.html.stamp: $(MANUAL).%.sgml $(MANUAL).%.ent $(wildcard %/*.sgml)

is expanded to an empty string and not to what we expect. According to make's documentation
%/*.sgml should work in prerequisites as well (but not in variable assignments) but this fails too.
Is this a bug or a feature of make (in Woody and Sid)?

Replace $(wildcard %/*.sgml) by $(SGMLSRCS) (which also contains .ent files which where
missing up to now) to fix it (same approach is used for other targets).
Please note that $(SGMLSRCS) contains the source for all languages. Touch the Japanese
translation and the English one rebuilds :-))

PS: There are other DDP documents which use $(wildcard %/*.sgml). I will fix this soon (using
a similar workaround).

PS: You wrote in CVS log that Japanese fails to build for you on Sid. Please send me the errorlog.
IIRC it works for me on Sid.

Jens
