Package: src:sphinx
Version: 9.1.0-2
Severity: serious
Tags: forky sid ftbfs

Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, many packages using sphinx
do not build from source anymore.

For example, bme280 fails in this way:

Traceback
=========

       File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sphinx/ext/autodoc/_dynamic/_loader.py", line 204, in _make_props_from_impo
rted_object
         _obj___module__=obj.__name__,
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^
     AttributeError: '_const' object has no attribute '__name__'. Did you mean: '__ne__'?


The full traceback has been saved in:
/tmp/sphinx-err-u1f23xzf.log

Full build log available here:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rbuild/unstable/amd64/bme280_0.2.4-3.rbuild.log.gz

The affected packages are:

src:bme280
src:buildbot
src:fmtlib
src:imath
src:jupyter-server
src:khard
src:libmemcached
src:pythondialog
src:python-odoorpc
src:python-treq
src:python-validate-pyproject
src:sentry-python
src:sphinxcontrib-emojicodes
src:tombo
src:votca

I've triggered rebuilds for all of them in reproducible-builds,
and I expect all of them to fail in similar ways.

This can be either a bug in sphinx, or a bug in the individual packages, but I don't
really know which one is the case.

If this is a bug in sphinx, please add an "affects" on all the above src packages, so that
we know that sphinx is the reason we can't currently build them from source.

On the other hand, if this really is a bug in the affected packages, please clone this
bug as many times as required, reassign to the affected packages, and (if you can) give
the maintainers some hint about the proper way to fix the issue.

Thanks.
