Thanks, will be happy to test rc2 after it's resolved.

There may be a related issue that the CI environments have things
installed that are not documented dependencies.  With a clear list of
deps and CI aligned to that list, deps doc bugs should be caught.

What's odd is that I didn't get an error message from the docs build
that some step couldn't be run, just that something was missing later.

Probably the top-level issue is lack of a clear decision on whether the
docs build should just skip steps with missing tools or error out.  My
take is just error out; if you 'make docs' you should either get what
you asked for or a non-zero exit status.

As long as all the docs tools are normal and reasonable, anyone should
be able to install them.  (Note that "normal and reasonable" excludes
pandoc, because it needs haskell compiler, which needs a haskell
compiler, and there is no reasonable/supported bootstrap path that works
on arbitrary operating systems and CPU types.)
