[Python-modules-team] Bug#1001517: python3-mechanize: Broken search capability due to incompatible change in new sphinx 4.3

[Cédric Hannotier]

Package: python3-mechanize
Version: 1:0.4.5-2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

The search capability is currently broken on testing.
Indeed,
a new version of sphinx (libjs-sphinxdoc) as been pushed (4.2 -> 4.3),
which includes a breaking change in the search index format.

Could you recompile the package against sphinx 4.3 to regenerate
the search index, contained in file 'searchindex.js'?

# Step to reproduce:
 - install python3-mechanize
 - $BROWER /usr/share/doc/python-mechanize/html/search.html?q=key

# Expected behavior:
Show results for searched keyword.

# Current behavior:
Non-stop loading without showing any result. Console outputs:
jquery.js:4053 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '4' of undefined
    at Object.performObjectSearch (searchtools.js:333)
    at Object.query (searchtools.js:211)
    at Object.performSearch (searchtools.js:146)
