Unable to read .edf file

This is a useful hint; though I don’t know how to fix it. I am trying to read in EDF files available for download from the CHB-MIT database.

I get this:
EDF file detected

the traceback shows these errors:

File ~/miniconda3/envs/mne1_3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mne/io/edf/edf.py:1412, in read_raw_edf
→ 1412 return RawEDF

File ~/miniconda3/envs/mne1_3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mne/io/edf/edf.py:141], in RawEDF.init(…)

→ 682 day, month, year = [int(x) for x in meas_date.split(‘.’)]
683 year = year + 2000 if year < 85 else year + 1900
685 meas_time = fid.read(8).decode(‘latin-1’)

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '="text/c

This error seems to be due to the measurement date format. Hoping there is a solution or a workaround.
