Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, your package failed to build:

The full traceback has been saved in /tmp/sphinx-err-l93d2xmp.log, if you want to report the issue to the developers.
Please also report this if it was a user error, so that a better error message can be provided next time.

The above is just how the build ends and not necessarily the most relevant part.
If required, the full build log is available here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202410/

About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines from AWS,
using sbuild and a reduced chroot with only build-essential packages.

If you could not reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I
am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is
fully reproducible.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and affects, so that this is still visible in the BTS web
page for this package.

Thanks.
