Jean-Claude,

This has been causing problems in a number of contexts.  So I have changed
is to the file is kept on the GDAL data download directory and fetched
at runtime by the script if GDAL_DOWNLOAD_TEST_DATA is set as we do for a
variety of other large or specialized test data.

Hopefully you can now do an svn checkout of the autotest suite without
problems.

Even - I'm not certain the python3 case will work now in the
autotest/gcore/rfc30.py script - perhaps you could give it a spin?

Best regards,
