Public bug reported:
The recent update of libexpat1 to version 2.5.0-2ubuntu0.1 broke Paraview.
In particular reading vtu files containing binary data fails since this update.
When trying to open files that worked fine before, Paraview now reports a
parsing error like this one:
ERROR: In vtkXMLParser.cxx, line 376
vtkXMLDataParser (0x5b0ac36fc970): Error parsing XML in stream at line 21,
column 0, byte index 1036: not well-formed (invalid token)
ERROR: In vtkXMLReader.cxx, line 521
vtkXMLUnstructuredGridReader (0x5b0ac3d3b670): Error parsing input file.
ReadXMLInformation aborting.
The problem disappears when reverting libexpat1 to version 2.5.0-2.
