I have looked around but could find much information.

Worked locally on a Linux box with Python 3.5 with sphinx 1.7.1 using make clean, make html. It used to work 3 weeks ago when it broke suddenly. We did not change the configuration file on our side.

I believe I currently have the same issue with another package called sequana also on RTD. thanks
