This is a bug in the file slides-3.0.0/xsl/fo/plain.xsl:

<xsl:import href="/sourceforge/docbook/xsl/fo/docbook.xsl"/>

It is trying to import the standard DocBook fo/docbook.xsl
stylesheet file.  This URI should be one of:

1. Mapped to a local pathname using an XML catalog.
2. Changed in the file to refer to a local pathname.
3. Changed in the file to a real URI:
   http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl

The last choice will make for slow processing as it will
download all the stylesheet files over the net.
