I am able to reproduce this on several self-hosted KVM machines
and also on n1-standard-1 instances from GCE.

The issue seems to be some kind of race condition, very similar
to this one:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=906335

I've put my build logs here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/git-annex/

and I have also just given you access to a machine where the issue
happens easily (see private email).

Thanks.
