Right, this seems to be an annoying mis-configuration of the new "conova"
buildd. The test hasn't changed in a long time, and works fine on every other
buildd, architecture, or distribution (Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL, Arch, etc.)

Buildd admins, is there something weird about conova, like it resolves
"localhost" to that IPv6 address, or more likely, "localhost" cannot be
resolved in NSS locally and it's trying to resolve it with that DNS server?

As a stopgap I'll probably do a locally built all binary upload, but I can't do
it right now.

Thanks,

Martin
