Bug#849934: python-geopandas: FTBFS (failing tests)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:python-geopandas
Version: 0.2.1-1
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

The relevant part of the build log is included above.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use reassign and affects,
so that this is still visible in the page for this package.

If you could not reproduce this using sbuild on a single CPU virtual machine (as I did),
please do not downgrade or mark as unreproducible, I would then consider giving you access
to a virtual machine on which I can reproduce it so that you can as well.
(In such case, please contact me off-list for details).

Thanks.
