Comment 3 for bug 2017853

Hello Dennis, thanks for testing the PPA. The patch Lena identified was really promising: by looking at the commit messages I can't identify a better candidate between 4.9.0 and 4.9.2:

  https://github.com/lxml/lxml/compare/lxml-4.9.0...lxml-4.9.2

Could you please double check you actually have the PPA version installed, e.g. by doing

  dpkg -l | grep lxml

and checking that the installed lxml packages have ~ppa1 in their version string? Also: please make sure that while testing the PPA packages installed from pip are not interfering.

If everything looks good, could you please try installing version 4.9.1 from pip? This way we'll be able to tell which version contains the fix. You can install a specific version from pip with e.g.:

  pip3 install lxml==4.0.1

Thanks!
