Bug#1033851: python-pyepsg: autopkgtest regression: xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: not well-formed (invalid token)

[Paul Gevers]

Source: python-pyepsg
Version: 0.4.0-1
Severity: serious
Control: tags -1 bookworm-ignore
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: regression

Dear maintainer(s),

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However, it fails since about 
August 2022. Can you please investigate the situation and fix it? I 
copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

The release team has announced [1] that failing autopkgtest on amd64 and 
arm64 are considered RC in testing. [Release Team member hat on] Because 
we're currently in the hard freeze for bookworm, I have marked this bug 
as bookworm-ignore. Targeted fixes are still welcome.

More information about this bug and the reason for filing it can be 
found on 
https://wiki.debian.org/ContinuousIntegration/RegressionEmailInformation
