The `docbook5' writer was added to Pandoc fairly recently, in version
1.17.1, released in June of this year. There's also a `docbook' writer,
which has been part of Pandoc much longer and which outputs to (I
assume) DocBook v4. So I suspect you either need to upgrade your Pandoc
or make sure ox-pandoc sets the output format to `docbook'.
