As always, thanks for your analysis!  I confirm the test suite
works offline, so withdraw my suspicion.

After some digging, I found one possible cause of breakage.
Since biopython 1.79, Bio.Seq.UnknownSeq is deprecated [1], so
it might be possible that ncbi-acc-download does not parse the
instanciation of that class very well.

Looks like I would want to take the issue upstream.

Have a nice day,  :)
