  If you currently follow the instructions for sphinx install:

    /usr/bin/python3 -m venv sphinx_2.4.4
    . sphinx_2.4.4/bin/activate
    pip install -r ./Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt

you encounter an error during make htmldocs:

    Sphinx version error:
    The sphinxcontrib.applehelp extension used by this project needs
    at least Sphinx v5.0; it therefore cannot be built with this version.

Akira-san Yokosawa reported this already in January 2023 and Jani Nikula
was fast in providing a fix (see Link). This however remained as a thread
on the linux-doc mailing and was never turned into a patch for Jonathan to
pick up.

Fix some versions for the Sphinx 2.4.4 to continue to work.
