I can't remember on what distro I saw the issue, but I got it during my builds, where, instead of running makeindex, it tried to run xindy, with failed because of utf-8 fonts. My theory is that, on one of the ditros, there is a /etc/latexmk or similar containing instructions to use xindy instead of makeindex. In any case, this rule is harmless on setups that use makeindex: it only affect setups where there is a latexmk or .latexmk file setting xindy as the default index builder: if this is used, xindy will use utf-8 fonts instead of Type 1.
