AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'version_info' ?

Hi - seeing this error when running Sphinx in a Jenkins pipeline (to make kernel docs), and ideas?

Running Sphinx v0.6.6

Exception occurred:
  File "/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-4.14.44/linux-4.14.44-1.x86_64/Documentation/conf.py", line 20, in <module>
    major, minor, patch = sphinx.version_info[:3]
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'version_info'
The full traceback has been saved in /tmp/sphinx-err-jwUDVQ.log, if you want to report the issue to the developers.
Please also report this if it was a user error, so that a better error message can be provided next time.
Either send bugs to the mailing list at <http://groups.google.com/group/sphinx-dev/>,

Don't have the traceback from the Jenkins pipeline but this is from a Centos 6 Vagrant VM:

# Sphinx version: 0.6.6
# Docutils version: 0.6 release

It looks like the kernel docs need at least Sphinx 1.3 -- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tree/Documentation/conf.py?h=linux-4.14.y#n31

>From the output it appears you're running with Sphinx 0.6.6, which is a pretty old release.
