Shouldn't there be also an entry like:

<delegatePublic publicIdStartString="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"
 catalog="file:///usr/share/xml/docbook/schema/dtd/4.5/catalog.xml"/>

Otherwise /usr/share/xml/docbook/schema/dtd/4.5/catalog.xml is not
referenced, or I'm missing something?

Does xmllint --nonet fail or correctly use the local copy?
