Dmitry, Helmut First, thanks for this insightful thread, even though it goes beyond my expertise I learn about cross-building then :)

Indeed it did fix the issue :) I set "Build-Depends-Indep: python3-sphinx:native" and built with pbuilder on testing. But I'm having other problems later on, not related to sphinx though (some of them probably x-build related). I don't have enough time to go any further right now, but anyway the issue regarding sphinx is actually fixed. A final question, would you recommend sbuild rather than pbuilder? Especially when trying to cross-build packages ? Thanks Dmitry and Helmut for your help :) Cheers k
