Ah, the error is specific to RCU.tex then?

You'll need to re-run xelatex with -interaction=interactive, in
order to be able to identify what's the root cause.

You could do this by using LATEXOPTS, e. g.:

	$ make SPHINXDIRS=RCU LATEXOPTS="-interaction=interactive" pdfdocs

With that, LaTeX will stop at the offending line from the .tex file.

On a quick test here, I'm getting these at Fedora 35:

	(/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/l3packages/xtemplate/xtemplate.sty)

	! LaTeX Error: File `ctexhook.sty' not found.

	Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
	or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)

It seems that a recent change (probably to better address issues with 
Chinese and Japanese translation) added an extra dependency to some
stylesheet.

I solved it by installing this package: "texlive-ctex".

The enclosed patch should fix the script for it to report such need.

Thanks,
Mauro

[PATCH] scripts: sphinx-pre-install: add required ctex dependency

After a change meant to fix support for oriental characters
(Chinese, Japanese, Korean), ctex stylesheet is now a requirement
for PDF output.
