The sphinxcontrib-* packages are Sphinx extensions, but you don't have
the core Sphinx installed. That could be what's confusing the build.
Try 'removepkg sphinxcontrib-*' and see if that un-confuses it?

For some reason, the sphinxcontrib-* builds don't list Sphinx as a
dependency... not sure why (since they're Sphinx extensions)?
