Matteo,

I tried to redo the build with the "make doc" statement and traced the
problem to the file
/tmp/SBo/owncloudclient-2.4.2/build/doc/latex/Makefile:

---
# Makefile for Sphinx LaTeX output

ALLDOCS = $(basename $(wildcard *.tex))
ALLPDF = $(addsuffix .pdf,$(ALLDOCS))
ALLDVI = $(addsuffix .dvi,$(ALLDOCS))
ALLXDV =
ALLPS  = $(addsuffix .ps,$(ALLDOCS))
ALLIMGS = $(wildcard *.png *.gif *.jpg *.jpeg)

# Prefix for archive names
ARCHIVEPREFIX =
# Additional LaTeX options (passed via variables in latexmkrc/latexmkjarc file)
export LATEXOPTS =
# Additional latexmk options
LATEXMKOPTS =
# format: pdf or dvi (used only by archive targets)
FMT = pdf

LATEX = latexmk -dvi
PDFLATEX = latexmk -pdf -dvi- -ps-

%.png %.gif %.jpg %.jpeg: FORCE_MAKE
	extractbb '$@'

%.dvi: %.tex FORCE_MAKE
	$(LATEX) $(LATEXMKOPTS) '$<'

%.ps: %.dvi
	dvips '$<'

%.pdf: %.tex FORCE_MAKE
	$(PDFLATEX) $(LATEXMKOPTS) '$<'

all: $(ALLPDF)

all-dvi: $(ALLDVI)

all-ps: $(ALLPS)

all-pdf: $(ALLPDF)

zip: all-$(FMT)
	mkdir $(ARCHIVEPREFIX)docs-$(FMT)
	cp $(ALLPDF) $(ARCHIVEPREFIX)docs-$(FMT)
	zip -q -r -9 $(ARCHIVEPREFIX)docs-$(FMT).zip $(ARCHIVEPREFIX)docs-$(FMT)
	rm -r $(ARCHIVEPREFIX)docs-$(FMT)

tar: all-$(FMT)
	mkdir $(ARCHIVEPREFIX)docs-$(FMT)
	cp $(ALLPDF) $(ARCHIVEPREFIX)docs-$(FMT)
	tar cf $(ARCHIVEPREFIX)docs-$(FMT).tar $(ARCHIVEPREFIX)docs-$(FMT)
	rm -r $(ARCHIVEPREFIX)docs-$(FMT)

gz: tar
	gzip -9 < $(ARCHIVEPREFIX)docs-$(FMT).tar > $(ARCHIVEPREFIX)docs-$(FMT).tar.gz

bz2: tar
	bzip2 -9 -k $(ARCHIVEPREFIX)docs-$(FMT).tar

xz: tar
	xz -9 -k $(ARCHIVEPREFIX)docs-$(FMT).tar

clean:
	rm -f *.log *.ind *.aux *.toc *.syn *.idx *.out *.ilg *.pla *.ps *.tar *.tar.gz *.tar.bz2 *.tar.xz $(ALLPDF) $(ALLDVI) $(ALLXDV) *.fls *.fdb_latexmk

.PHONY: all all-pdf all-dvi all-ps clean zip tar gz bz2 xz
.PHONY: FORCE_MAKE
---

which points to something related to the Sphinx package as it is
suggested in the first line. I'll try to get more information as the
availability of time permits.

Thanks,

Luiz
