$ sudo apt-get install -t jessie-backports python-sphinx
To solve some problems with the build of the documentation, we have
had to move to the version of python-sphinx available in
jessie-backports. (Essentially, our documentation is now so large that
it is causing problems for the theme we've chosen and we've had to
make some changes to keep improve the navigation within the pages.)
If you are building lava-server in sbuild, there is an addition option
required to sbuild:
--build-dep-resolver=aptitude
The build script in the lava-dev package uses this option already.

There have been problems with using uWSGI for lava-server, including
preventing updates of 2016.6-2~bpo8+1 in jessie-backports.
The LAVA software team have completed a change which will be included
in the 2016.11 release which removes the need for the
libapache2-mod-uwsgi, libapache2-mod-wsgi and uwsgi-core packages. The
replacement is the gunicorn package.
This does involve changes to the apache configuration of all sites
which upgrade to 2016.11.
Ahead of installing 2016.11, two apache modules need to be enabled.
https://staging.validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/installing_on_debian.h…
$ sudo a2enmod proxy
$ sudo a2enmod proxy_http
$ sudo service apache2 restart
These will not affect older installations.
Then install 2016.11 and your instance will continue to operate.
If you have made changes to
/etc/apache2/sites-available/lava-server.conf then the changes to the
upstream file will need to be merged into your changes.
If you choose to remove libapache2-mod-uwsgi after completing the
install, be aware that there is a Debian bug which may affect you.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=839666
If your apache server fails to restart after removing the
libapache2-mod-uwsgi package, you will need to workaround this bug by
executing:
$ sudo a2dismod uwsgi
$ sudo apache2ctl restart
