Yes, it was taking me long enough to do both sets that I went ahead and
commited one before the other, normally I would have commited them both
at the same time. Someone was pestering me to get it working so I went
ahead and commited one.

Yes, the build completes and creates the documentation. Before it
didn't. Of course this is a "band-aid" for fixing the real cause. Even
better would be to do that but I'm not competent to understand the book
build process and why it didn't work without that. So I took the patch
from Ben Reser (thanks Ben!) :-) I'd be happy if the book build
process just worked out-of-the-box. If someone can show me where I'm
doing something wrong I'll be happy to fix it.

Oh. I thought only full-access committers could vote. I'll go back and
read the voting instructions.

OK. I just wanted to attribute the patch to Ben and not myself. :-) I
guess I could do that in the %changelog section.
