I'am completely confused by distros etc. .. I will never be able to control that. Thats why I recommend the virtualenv workflow (as I wrote Christoph): $ sudo apt install python3-virtualenv To setup up a environment for building htmldocs: $ python3 -m virtualenv py3env $ ./py3env/bin/pip install -r ./Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt To build htmldocs with: $ SPHINXBUILD=./py3env/bin/sphinx-build make htmldocs If the env is no longer needed: $ rm -r py3env Am Freitag, den 20.07.2018, 09:44 -0700 schrieb Darrick J.

I guess in the version history of docutils ;) .. use workflow above to escape from distro chaos. Even missing '=' will be OK. -- Markus --
