[Docutils-users] (I'm not subscribed) Fwd: traceback error report for `KeyError: 'refid'`

[Jeroen Wiert Pluimers]

Just read at http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/mailing-lists.html
that my previous email might not have reached the list as I'm not
subscribed so I should send to Docutils-***@lists.sourceforge.net

Note that my gmail address goes around my hosts spam filters, so that is a
better place to CC.

Groet,

The current version of this file (2015-06-15) compiles without problems here
(rst2html (Docutils 0.13 [repository], Python 2.7.10, on linux2))

README.rst:292: (ERROR/3) Too many autonumbered footnote references: only 0
corresponding footnotes available.

It seems the footnote-text/footnote-reference mismatch was solved in the
meantime.

KeyError: 'refid'
Exiting due to error. Use "--traceback" to diagnose.

This seems to be an aftereffect.
I did not encounter this in a minimal test, though.
Do you still have a file that exhibits the KeyError on compiling?

Unfortunately, I don't know how we landed here with a footnote-reference
node without refid. and what should/could be done to it.

Thanks,
