@Shaun: Have you possibly stumbled into anything similar when building e.g. gnome-user-docs?

If dropping zh_CN from ubuntu-help/Makefile.am, ubuntu-docs builds. But excluding the Chinese pages is apparently not an acceptable solution. The itstool package in focal {build-,}depends on python3. I built itstool in a PPA with python2 instead, and in that PPA ubuntu-docs built fine without modifications: https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntu-docs/+packages So the root cause seems to lie neither in ubuntu-docs nor itstool. I would suspect that python3-libxml2 is buggy, but since itstool was built against python2 in eoan, it's hard to tell if it's a regression. Would building itstool against python2 be an acceptable workaround in focal?
