Bug#1055728: Segyio is lagging behind upstream (Was: segyio ftbfs with Python 3.12)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Tino,

thanks for the hint which reduced the number of test suite failures to
one as you can see in Salsa CI[1].  In case someone might find a
solution for this one we might upload - if not I wonder whether this
package is a candidate for removal.

Please note: I have no interest into this package at all - just hunting
for Python3.12 issues.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
