Building drbd-utils on Debian 12 error

General

Trying to build the .deb files for installation on Debian 12.9 (kernel 6.1.0-31-amd64). Followed https://linbit.com/drbd-user-guide/drbd-guide-9_0-en/#s-build-deb instructions. Tried this with the modules and no problems; all .debs created. Tried with utils and I get:

Userland tools build was successful.
make -C documentation/v9 doc
make[2]: Entering directory ‘/home/jayf/drbd-utils/documentation/v9’

test -f drbd.conf.5

It looks not like an error in the compile itself, but in the building of th .deb package. I’m guessing I’m missing a dependancy, but nothing in the documentation.

It seems to be failing on building the documentation. Best guess is that you’re missing some dependency for building the man pages.

As a quick test, or if you’re fine continuing with the man pages, try feeding the option --without-manual to the configure script.
