I am trying to install the latest version of BlueZ from remote (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git) using the following steps:-

./bootstrap
./configure --disable-dependency-tracking
make

However, the configure process fails with the following:-

checking systemd user unit dir... /usr/lib/systemd/user

checking for rst2man... no checking for rst2man.py... no configure: error: rst2man is required make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

After a quick search online, I found that in order to satisfy this requirement, I have to install python-docutils, but this is always failing for me with the following

$ sudo apt -y install python-docutils

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Package python-docutils is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'python-docutils' has no installation candidate

I followed the instructions in this link but still no luck, I always get the above error message. Any idea how I can install python-docutils or rst2man?

I am using Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (Linux 5.15.0-48-generic).

For me

sudo apt -y install python3-docutils

seemed to work on Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye).
