Found a new prerequisite: I could not generate the man file without
first installing rubygem-asciidoctor. This made /usr/bin/asciidoctor
available.
That's not especially new; you've needed asciidoc or asciidoctor to
get the manual when building out of version control for a couple years
now. You probably had asciidoc for some other reason in the past, or
didn't notice.
You are right: I was doing it on a machine recently upgraded to Fedora 25,
and the upgrade process always leaves out some rarely used stuff. I had
never previously noticed that I was using asciidoctor.
[I always start the new version of linux in a new partition so that the old
version is available in case the upgrade goes wrong. The old and new
versions share the same /boot partiton and grub.cfg file.]
