[Debichem-devel] Bug#1150834: mdtraj: FTBFS: E pyparsing.exceptions.ParseException: Expected '(', found '=' (at char 6), (line:1, col:7)

Package: src:mdtraj
Version: 1.11.1.post1-3
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs forky sid

Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, this package failed to build.

Below you will find the last part of the build log (probably the most
relevant part, but not necessarily). If required, the full build log
is available here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202610/

About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines from AWS,
using sbuild and a reduced chroot with only build-essential packages.

If you cannot reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I
am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is
fully reproducible.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and add an affects on src:mdtraj, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.

Thanks.

        Parse a string with respect to the parser definition. This function is intended as the primary interface to the
        client code.
    
        :param instring: The input string to be parsed.
        :param parse_all: If set, the entire input string must match the grammar.
        :param parseAll: retained for pre-PEP8 compatibility, will be removed in a future release.
        :raises ParseException: Raised if ``parse_all`` is set and the input string does not match the whole grammar.
        :returns: the parsed data as a :class:`ParseResults` object, which may be accessed as a `list`, a `dict`, or
          an object with attributes if the given parser includes results names.
    
        If the input string is required to match the entire grammar, ``parse_all`` flag must be set to ``True``. This
        is also equivalent to ending the grammar with :class:`StringEnd`\\ ().
    
        To report proper column numbers, ``parse_string`` operates on a copy of the input string where all tabs are
        converted to spaces (8 spaces per tab, as per the default in ``string.expandtabs``). If the input string
        contains tabs and the grammar uses parse actions that use the ``loc`` argument to index into the string
        being parsed, one can ensure a consistent view of the input string by doing one of the following:
    
        - calling ``parse_with_tabs`` on your grammar before calling ``parse_string`` (see :class:`parse_with_tabs`),
        - define your parse action using the full ``(s,loc,toks)`` signature, and reference the input string using the
          parse action's ``s`` argument, or
        - explicitly expand the tabs in your input string before calling ``parse_string``.
    
        Examples:
    
        By default, partial matches are OK.
    
        .. doctest::
    
            >>> res = Word('a').parse_string('aaaaabaaa')
            >>> print(res)
            ['aaaaa']
    
        The parsing behavior varies by the inheriting class of this abstract class. Please refer to the children
        directly to see more examples.
    
        It raises an exception if parse_all flag is set and instring does not match the whole grammar.

            >>> res = Word('a').parse_string('aaaaabaaa', parse_all=True)
