Hi,

I don't believe this is the fix to this FTBFS bug; after all, the
package continues to build after licensecheck is not found.

Based on the log output in the bug report, this seems more relevant:

To fix this issue run the command 'echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled' as root, and add it to your /etc/rc.local in order to retain the setting after a reboot. Redis must be restarted after THP is disabled.
