[Python-modules-team] Bug#918845: kitchen: FTBFS with Sphinx 1.8: No module named 'sphinx.ext.pngmath'

[Dmitry Shachnev]

Source: kitchen
Version: 1.2.5-3
Severity: important
User: python-modules-team at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: sphinx1.8

Dear Maintainer,

kitchen fails to build with Sphinx 1.8, currently available in experimental:

  PYTHONPATH=/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/kitchen3/ http_proxy='127.0.0.1:9' \
          sphinx-build -N -bhtml kitchen3/docs/ kitchen3/docs/_build/html
  Running Sphinx v1.8.3
  loading translations [en]... done

  Extension error:
  Could not import extension sphinx.ext.pngmath (exception: No module named 'sphinx.ext.pngmath')
  make[1]: *** [debian/rules:20: override_dh_auto_build] Error 2

The pngmath extension was deprecated in Sphinx 1.4 and has been removed [1]
in Sphinx 1.8. The recommended alternative is sphinx.ext.imgmath [2] which
also has SVG support in addition to PNG.

To me it looks like this extension is unused anyway: there are no “.. math::”
directives or “:math:” roles, and python-kitchen-doc does not have any
generated PNG images. So this extension can be simply removed from extensions
in conf.py.
