Some python tests fail on current systems

On openSUSE Tumbelweed, these tests fail, while the succeed with older environment (Leap 15.2):

This is related to Python 3.8.5, which seems to have changed this behavior.

The log isn't valid anymore, since I disabled the failing tests for now.

I believe we fixed this a while ago.
