The util-linux test-suite detects (intermittent) problems when

interest
in investigating what's happening at their end).
I'm thus asking you to please blacklist all ARM Ltd hosted buildds
(for all (arm*) architectures) for building the util-linux package.
Once that's done please consider closing #872635 which contains some
additional info about this problem about the issue.
Right now I'm relying on give-backs and praying it doesn't end up
on ARM Ltd hosted or the doesn't trigger this build. It's annoying
and time-wasting. Unfortunately I don't have enough spare time or
motivation to continue enduring this.
I guess two other options would be:
a) Disable outbound network access altogether (likely hard)
or
b) Blackhole a.root-servers.net with a host firewall rule so that the
test gets skipped
