You are right: I was doing it on a machine recently upgraded to Fedora 25,
and the upgrade process always leaves out some rarely used stuff. I had
never previously noticed that I was using asciidoctor.

[I always start the new version of linux in a new partition so that the old
version is available in case the upgrade goes wrong. The old and new
versions share the same /boot partiton and grub.cfg file.]
