Hi Santiago,

Thanks for your bug report.

This isn't strange at all. What's happening is that it builds fine
without external connection. I tried disabling internet connectivity on
my laptop to build the package, and it built fine. That's also what
happens on the buildd and in the reproducible environment, where
probably you do have external connectivity on your builders and on the
Digital Ocean machine.

What I believe happens is that the test
test__get_socket_throws_exception_in_case_of_failed_connection
expects connectivity to 1.1.1.1 to fail (as this is the purpose of the
test: to check if an exception is raised when connectivity fails),
though it doesn't fail, there really is a host behind 1.1.1.1 these
days. Probably there wasn't any machine responding to 1.1.1.1 when the
package was uploaded.

Replacing the IP by 198.51.100.1, which is reserved by IETF for
documentation (according to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses) fixes the issue.

I have reported the issue upstream:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/proliantutils/+bug/1779342

and I will probably attempt to fix it upstream and in Stretch.

Cheers,
