cpp-netlib: FTBFS: test failures when no internet connection available

[Andreas Moog]

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/731011:

Package: cpp-netlib
Version: 0.10.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Fails to build from source

Hi there,

some of the tests in your package require internet connectivity and/or
an active network interface. The former may not be available on the
build daemon, resulting in an error like:

> Running 12 test cases...

A full build-log can for example be found at
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/157509492/buildlog_ubuntu-trusty-i386.cpp-netlib_0.10.1-1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
Note that this particular build was done on Ubuntu trusty, but I
verified the same error on an up-to-date unstable running inside
Virtualbox with the network interface disabled.

The easiest solution in my opinion would be to disable the tests that
require connectivity/an active network interface.
