Thanks for the link, turns out I screwed up and my experimental chroot
didn't actually install the package from experimental. I was able to reproduce
it.

The error shown in the log, was fixed by updating rust-libxml to the latest
upstream version. However, hurl then failed to build with a new error.

I prepared an updated hurl package with an upstream fix for that, I
also updated hurl-core at the same time.

Since none of the involved packages have ever been in testing,
I just went ahead and uploaded the new versions to unstable.
