IN BRIEF:

After some tests, I suggest to
 - Upgrade python-m2r to 0.3.1
 - Recombine python2-mistune and python3-mistune to python-mistune-2.0.4

IN DETAIL:

I built python2-mistune 2.0.4 after eliminating error copying CHANGES.rst.

I built python-m2r-0.3.1. The python3 build gets the same error as in my
original post: fixed by not doing a python3 build. /usr/bin/m2r is a python2
program but I think that's OK: reverse dependency search finds 0 dependees for
python-m2r.

https://pypi.org/project/m2r/ Project description says "NO MORE UPDATES". Make
of that what you will.

Cheers ... Duncan.
