Hello,
it looks as if the latest sphinx update on core-updates broke
python(2)-matplotlib, which causes a lot of packages to fail.
The problem occurred after commit 2d02a77:
http://hydra.gnu.org:3000/job/gnu/core-updates/python-matplotlib-1.4.3.i686-linux
(here for i686, but the package also does not build on x86_64).
I tried a local build, and the file
matplotlib-1.4.3/doc/build/latex/Matplotlib.log in the build directory
ends with this:
File: ts1txr.fd 2000/12/15 v3.1

End of file on the terminal!
One option would be to try an update of matplotlib to 1.5.1, but this
requires a rebuild of quite a number of packages, with unknown outcome.
How about reverting the sphinx update in core-updates and pushing it to
the python-updates branch instead?
