Description Karolina Surma 2023-03-21 14:36:11 UTC
python-pelican fails to build with Sphinx 6.1.3 in Fedora 39 (currently Rawhide).

For the logs from testing build attempts, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ksurma/sphinx-6.1.3/package/python-pelican/

You can test you package in mock running:

$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --addrepo=https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/ksurma/sphinx-6.1.3/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/ --no-clean your.src.rpm
$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --addrepo=https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/ksurma/sphinx-6.1.3/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/ shell

The issue detected:

Exception occurred:
File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/sphinx/ext/extlinks.py", line 103, in role
title = caption % part
        ~~~~~~~~^~~~~~
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

It's an error in configuration.
To resolve, edit the documentation `conf.py` and correct the `extlinks` definition to contain exactly one `%s` in the captions, eg.

Bad:
'github': ('https://github.com/%s', '')

Good:
'github': ('https://github.com/%s', '%s')

Sphinx 6.1.3 will be included in Fedora 39.
Let us know here if you have any questions. Thank you!

Hi,

This is a friendly notice that Sphinx 6.1.3 will be shipped to Fedora Rawhide on April 13th. This package - unless fixed - will start to FTBFS.
I'll be happy to help with fixing the issues, should you need it.
If this package has already been handled, please ignore this message and ideally close the ticket. Thank you!
