And yet another, this time late, stay-compatible type of problem with
pacemaker vs. concurrent changes in build dependencies has popped up,
this time with Inkscape.  Whenever its 1.0 version is released,
when with my ask https://github.com/ClusterLabs/pacemaker/pull/1953
refused, the just released version (an equally the older ones) will
choke when documentation gets prepared (corollary of the respective
packages incl. Inkscape being around, to begin with).

Workaround is then to either disable that step of the build process:

  ./configure --with-brand=
  ("equals nothing")

or to apply this patch:
