This should have been fixed by MantisBT master 58ae0d42 but that was committed to master branch (2.26.0-dev), and now that the build scripts are included in the MantisBT repository, if building an older release (like 2.25.8) then the fix is not taken into consideration as the older version of the docbook-manual.py build script is executed... Anyway, the root cause of the problem is that the temporary directory generated by Python's mkdtemp() function is not actually mounted into the docker image, so the repository used to build the release (with the --fresh option) is not available to publican. As a workaround, the repo should be cloned in the given release_path.
