This is due to the utterly slow and swap-to-death arm builders. Just retry the build, it'll work after a few attempts. I really don't want to disable this test, as it's working fine everywhere else and I want to know whether functionality works on arm platforms as well.

re-opening. closing as won't fix won't help anything for the release, until the package can be built.

now retried some times, and it always fails in the same place.
