Well, the tool is not really verbose. Please do me a favour and
edit /usr/sbin/update-xmlcatalog. Add the following lines (the first
line I write is already in the file - it should just help to find the
correct place):

use vars qw( $verbose );
$verbose = 1; # add this line

And in the function add_entry(), please add:

print STDERR "$name: error: entity already registered\n";
print "DEBUG: entry=$entry, key=$key, catalog=$catalog, catalog{key}=" .
$catalog{$key} . "\n"; # add this line

print "$name: adding entity to catalog data $catalog_data\n"
      if $verbose;
print "DEBUG: entry=$entry, key=$key, catalog=$catalog\n"; # add this line

And send me the complete output you get. E.g. with

... > /tmp/dblog 2>&1

I hope this will help me to understand, what's happening on your
systems.
