It depends on the version of kdoctools you have, as that includes  
general.entities, which is where that entity is defined.  According to  
Burkhard Lück, it was added in 5.50.  I have 5.70 installed, so it is  
obviously not THAT new.  I suspect the only problems will show up on  
LTS distros.  I agree we need to ask the Catalan translator to remove  
it, and not to use entities not used in the original docbook files.   
I'm not sure how to do that.  I think it might also be possible to us  
to temporarily include that entity definition in index.docbook (as has  
been done for authors) until KMM requires at least version 5.50 of  
kdoctools (or whatever else pulls that in).
