[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Buildfarm] Irel_blocked-releases-page job on local build farm keeps failing

[P. J. Reed via Discourse.ros.org]

I've got a local build farm that is otherwise working fine; we're releasing and building packages for Indigo, Kinetic, and Melodic without any problems.

The one except is that several days ago, the Irel_blocked-releases-page job started failing, and I can't figure out why.  Here's the last section of the build log for it:

    # BEGIN SECTION: Run Dockerfile - blocked_releases page

    06:05:23 Sending e-mails to: 
    06:05:23 Finished: FAILURE

The cause seems obvious -- some kind of failure parsing "</package>\n", ar_sys: !!python/str" near the end -- but I have grepped through every file on all of our build farm servers and every file in our build farm repositories and cannot find that string.  I'm guessing it's being automatically generated by something, but I don't know what or where to start looking.  For reference, the Krel and Mrel versions of that job are just fine.

Does anybody have an idea what might be causing that or where I should start looking?

Thanks in advance!
