Trying to build the documentation of python-vine, I get this error:

TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

It seems that the error is due to the combination of sphinx 6 and sphinx_celery. The behaviour of extlinks seems to have changed. See sphinx-doc/sphinx#11094

[auvipy]

would you mind try to fix it?

[papoteur-mga]

would you mind try to fix it?

Sorry, but no. This occurs during packaging build. If the error persists, I will disable build of documentation.
Perhaps the problem is in docutils.

I believe this may be fixed by #40 , but no release contains this change. @auvipy Would it be possible for you to consider releasing with this change? I will test locally later on today.

[auvipy]

thanks for raising. I will make a release soon

[pabs3]

This and #40 now causes all builds using sphinx 6 or later to fail and this is beginning to affect distros like Debian and Gentoo (for example), so a new release would be appreciated.

[auvipy]

sadly I do not have release access and have to wait

• dev-python/sphinx-celery: Add placeholder to extlinks gentoo/gentoo#32156 is closed.

Should the be closed also? If not, what are the todos?
