ansible @2.3.2.0-1: "make docs" failure - asciidoc returns non-zero exit status 1

[rseichter (Ralph Seichter)]

Installation of ansible 2.3.2.0 fails during "make docs" phase. Using "port clean ansible" does not resolve the issue.

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers ansible), if any.

[rseichter (Ralph Seichter)]

Indeed, I forgot the Cc settings, sorry.

Hmm... looking at the log, all the dependencies seem to be at their latest (correct) version.

I just removed and re-installed ansible and cannot reproduce, unfortunately.

I'll try a couple more things, including updating to ansible 2.4.1 (due out in a few days) and see if that fixes things.

Sorry for the problem - it's a real puzzler!

[rseichter (Ralph Seichter)]

Please let me know if I can assist in narrowing this issue down.

[adfernandes (Andrew Fernandes)]

Will be obviated by #55229, once that change is committed (and assuming that that change works...)
