It's difficult for me to provide this information.  I update my system 
from the Debian repository almost nightly and don't keep track of what 
changes occur or when.  I presume this information is stored somewhere 
in the package management system but, if so, I don't know how to 
retrieve it.

Here is the information I've been able to retrieve:

I last built refdb-svn (successfully) on 26 October.

The packages xsltproc and libxslt1.1 are both built from the same 
source.  According to both packages' changelog (extract follows) those 
packages were updated on 27 October or soon thereafter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 libxslt  (1.1.18-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release:
     + Fixes xsl:variable with node sets. Closes: #381597.
     + Honors disable-output-escaping in xhtml 1.0 style element.
       Closes: #395210.
     + Supports XInclude processing on XSL stylesheets. Closes: #395210.
     + Correctly handles xsl:param names with namespaces. Closes: #389023.
   * debian/control:
     + Bumped Standards-Version to 3.7.2.2. No changes required.
     + Build depend on libxml2 >= 2.6.27, and adapt other dependencies
       accordingly.

libxslt (1.1.17-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * xsltproc/xsltproc.c: Reverted patch to allow xsltproc to do XInclude
     processing. Closes: #389694. Reopens: #383408.

According to package docbook-xsl's changelog (extract follows) that 
package has not been updated since 26 October.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 docbook-xsl  (1.71.0.dfsg.1-1.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Non-maintainer upload.
   * Remove compatibility symlink in
     /usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh and its parent 
directories
     on removal; closes: #393726.

Perhaps changes to xsltproc/libxslt have resulted in the current HTML 
manual build problem.

Regards,
David.
