Weird... could some versions of Sphinx be redirecting the output of
--version to stderr instead of stdout?

If so, something like:

	perl -e 'open IN,"sphinx-build --version 2>&1 |"; while (<IN>) { if (m/([\d\.]+)/) { print "-jauto\n" if ($1 >= "1.7") } ;} close IN'

would make it print "-jauto" with those other versions you're trying.

Yeah, really weird. Here I'm using Fedora 30 too:

	python3-sphinx_rtd_theme-0.4.3-1.fc30.noarch
	python3-sphinx-1.8.4-1.fc30.noarch

It works with both installed version and pip3 virtualenvs.

I didn't try the python2 versions, though.
