 Thank you for confirming the fix.
 
 moreutils only needs docbook2man in order to build its manpages. So if
 you do need docbook-utils for something else, you can reinstall it after
 removing docbook2X.
 
 I have contacted the maintainers of the docbook-utils and docbook2X
 ports, to let them know about the conflicting versions of docbook2man.
