Bug 829842 – dev-python/sphinx: requires <docutils-0.18

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John Helmert III 2021-12-22 22:40:14 UTC]

We don't seem to have a Gentoo bug for this yet.

The docutils dependency in Sphinx is "<dev-python/docutils-0.18". This leads to a rather confusing message when emerging:

  (dev-python/docutils-0.18.1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) USE="" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_9 -pypy3 -python3_10 -python3_8" conflicts with
    <dev-python/docutils-0.18[python_targets_python3_9(-)] required by (dev-python/sphinx-4.3.2-1:0/0::gentoo, binary scheduled for merge) USE="-doc -latex -test" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_9 -pypy3 -python3_10 -python3_8"
    ^                    ^^^^

This is strictly an informational message from Portage, because it cannot upgrade docutils while Sphinx requires an older docutils. The upstream issue is at URL, and it seems the update on Sphinx's end is slated for 4.4.0.

Where do you see that?  It still has <0.18.
