There is a degree of flakiness in the mdanalysis tests, known upstream,
https://github.com/MDAnalysis/mdanalysis/issues/4209
https://github.com/MDAnalysis/mdanalysis/issues/4906

test_distance often comes up, but the failures are random all over the
place. They will pass on a repeat.

So it's hard to know where to start with the problem.  Running no
tests at all doesn't seem the best way.  Skip every failing test one by
one as they come up, until the probability of failure is sufficiently
reduced to not trigger your testing system?

But given the discussion on Issue #4906, perhaps for now we can
address it by skipping test_distances entirely, until #4906 is fixed.
