Description Karolina Surma 2026-02-16 11:32:41 UTC 
[heads up] pykakasi will fail to build with Sphinx 9+ which is going to be shipped in Fedora 45.

      File "/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/sphinx/util/docutils.py", line 659, in __call__
        raise SphinxError(msg)
    sphinx.errors.SphinxError: cannot determine default role!

Build attempts: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ksurma/sphinx-9/package/pykakasi/

This is apparently tracked upstream as a bug, but could be also fixed in the project: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/13904

Thank you for working on this!
