Well, but I can't build packages in your machine, I have to do it in
my machine, and it fails 50% of the time for me. Try building on a
START1-XS instance from Scaleway (still available on Amsterdam), or
ask me for an account in such a machine.

Yes, it's always the same test. This is the relevant line from all the
build logs above:

Failure: test_highlight_on_multi_threads(PygmentsHighlightTest):

Thanks.
