MacOS – Running “brew install moreutils –without-parallels” fails

homebrewmacos-highsierra

I’ve recently upgraded to macOS High Sierra. I’ve updated and upgraded homebrew. I’ve done:

brew install parallel

And now I need to:

brew install moreutils --without-parallel

This fails. Looking at:

$HOME/Library/Logs/Homebrew/moreutils/05.make

I can see that this is related to docbook-xsl:

xsltproc --param man.authors.section.enabled 0 /usr/local/opt/docbook-xsl/docbook-xsl/manpages/docbook.xsl ifdata.docbook
