Package: python2.7 Version: 2.7.13-4 Severity: serious Justification: causes other packages to FTBFS
With 2.7.13-4 installed, I am unable to build documentation as sphinx errors out: sphinx-build -b html -d _build/doctrees -n -j 4 . _build/html Running Sphinx v1.4.9 making output directory... loading pickled environment... not yet created loading intersphinx inventory from https://docs.python.org/2/objects.inv... building [mo]: targets for 0 po files that are out of date building [html]: targets for 91 source files that are out of date updating environment: 91 added, 0 changed, 0 removed reading sources...

Please also report this if it was a user error, so that a better error message can be provided next time. A bug report can be filed in the tracker at <https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues>. Thanks! ^CError in atexit._run_exitfuncs: The problem now is that lava-server and potentially other packages which build documentation with python-sphinx will FTBFS with this version of python2.7 in unstable. Downgrading python-sphinx to the version in Stretch makes no difference. Downgrading python2.7 to the version in testing fixes the problem entirely. $ sudo apt install python2.7=2.7.13-2 python2.7-minimal=2.7.13-2 libpython2.7-stdlib=2.7.13-2 libpython2.7-minimal=2.7.13-2 sphinx-build -b html -d _build/doctrees -n -j 4 . _build/html Running Sphinx v1.4.9 making output directory... loading pickled environment... not yet created loading intersphinx inventory from https://docs.python.org/2/objects.inv... building [mo]: targets for 0 po files that are out of date building [html]: targets for 91 source files that are out of date updating environment: 91 added, 0 changed, 0 removed reading sources...

Build finished. The HTML pages are in _build/html. To reproduce, it should be enough to install lava-dev to get the correct build dependencies, and try to rebuild lava-server. A quicker test would be to get the lava-server source and run: $ make -C doc/v2 clean $ make -C doc/v2 html in the top level directory.
