Was this a one-time failure or is it reproducible?

I cannot reproduce it because the tests are skipped in my setup as well
as they are skipped on the buildds: because there is no
/etc/apt/sources.list in my pbuilders - only
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list. The buildds seem to use a similar chroot
setup without /etc/apt/sources.list

So the bigger underlying problem is "tests require /etc/apt/sources.list
to be run". And thereafter perhaps "tests require network access".
