Thank you for the patch. I will apply this one today. Please note that
this is simply a workaround for a limitation of Santiago's build
environment. This kind of error won't occur for the vast majority of the
package's target audience.

The claim that the build fails 99% all the time is wrong. If you try to
argue with mathematics you must take _all possible outcomes_ into
account not only the outcomes for your sample set. Then it becomes
obvious that this issue is negligible and definitely not release critical.
