Public bug reported: ubuntu-docs failed to build during the second Focal Fossa test rebuild:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/test- rebuild-20200327-focal/+build/18982738 It was itstool which failed to generate the localized zh_CN pages. If dropping zh_CN from ubuntu-help/Makefile.am, ubuntu-docs builds. But excluding the Chinese pages is apparently not an acceptable solution. The itstool package in focal {build-,}depends on python3. I built itstool in a PPA with python2 instead, and in that PPA ubuntu-docs built fine without modifications: https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntu-docs/+packages So the root cause seems to lie neither in ubuntu-docs nor itstool. I would suspect that python3-libxml2 is buggy, but since itstool was built against python2 in eoan, it's hard to tell if it's a regression. Would building itstool against python2 be an acceptable workaround in focal? ** Affects: itstool (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: libxml2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: itstool (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: libxml2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869814 Title: ubuntu-docs build failure - possible solution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/itstool/+bug/1869814/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
