Bug#1007013: freecad: autopkgtest regression on arm64 and armhf: syntax error

[Paul Gevers]

Source: freecad
Version: 0.19.4+dfsg1-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: regression

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of freecad the autopkgtest of freecad fails in 
testing on arm64 and armhf when that autopkgtest is run with the binary 
packages of freecad from unstable. It passes when run with only packages 
from testing. In tabular form:

                        pass            fail
freecad                from testing    0.19.4+dfsg1-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration to testing [1]. Can 
you please investigate the situation and fix it?
