Description

If you try to run the docbook build script (or mvn assembly:assembly) from a source distribution, you get the expected file not found error because the docbook files are missing. However, you will be left with an empty docbook/docbooks-xsl-1.70.0 directory.

If you now follow the instructions on the website and obtain the docbook/zip directory, and then re-run the build script, it will fail again, with the same error message. I think the problem is that it sees the empty docbooks-xsl-1.70.0 directory and assumes you have already successfully unzipped the docbook files, so it does not even attempt to unzip them again.

The workaround is to manually delete the empty directory before re-running the build.
