Note that we have only tested things with Sphinx 2.4.4, because we rely on a
custom extension to add the links to man pages.

virtual environment for you with the same packages used for the ReadTheDocs
build. Perhaps you can try that, or it can give a hint as to how to set up your
own Python environment?
