Read the Docs apt module page is empty

[maphew]

When I build the sphinx docs locally with make html there is a module page populated with content, but at http://apt.readthedocs.org/en/latest/apt.html the page is empty.

Under Builds, https://readthedocs.org/builds/apt/2900858/, there is an error with ctypes.

/var/build/user_builds/apt/checkouts/latest/docs/source/apt.rst:4: WARNING: autodoc: failed to import module u'apt'; the following exception was raised:

I think this means mock needs to be in requirements.txt

...nope, still fails. much longer output though in addition to the same as above, not going to post all, here's the source: https://readthedocs.org/builds/apt/2958092/

However from "Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): mock in /home/docs/checkouts/..." I think we can conclude requirement.txt is not the issue.

Mock import now works, yay! but it looks like mock itself might need some patching.
https://readthedocs.org/builds/apt/2958151/

  File "/var/build/user_builds/apt/checkouts/latest/knownpaths.py", line 13, in GUID
    ("Data4", wintypes.BYTE * 8)
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'Mock' and 'int'

which leads to only 3 search hits, the most relevant about Mock missing (at least) a true division operator: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2014-March/235709.html

I might have to give up on using automatic RTD and build and upload from local machine. :-/
