Describe issue

Sphinx build fails at "make html" from the workflow below. It seems to be a timezone related issue that arises from the interaction of the Python packages babel & zoneinfo.

It is important to mention again, that it runs fine when pushing to Github, but unfortunately not in act.

Find the error below:

@liopeer I ran into this issue today. There's definitely a problem with how the timezone is being retrieved by babel, but you can get around it by setting TZ=UTC to short circuit the problem during the sphinx build:
