Title:
  ubuntu-docs build failure - possible solution

Status in libxml2:
  New
Status in libxml2 package in Ubuntu:

Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  ubuntu-docs failed to build during the second Focal Fossa test
  rebuild:

  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/test-
  rebuild-20200327-focal/+build/18982738

  It was itstool which failed to generate the localized zh_CN pages. 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?
