Comment (by naokikambe):

 That error seems to be caused because of no installed stylesheets for
 docbook, I think. It passed after I installed the `docbook-style-xsl`
 package on my fedora. The error message should be updated to install it?

 BTW quick patches for checking `elinks`:

 This issue is rather related to #2527 but it's already closed.
