This is the first I've heard of it having problems doing the pre-req 
installs.  If you run build-gnuradio with -v, you get more details about 
why.
  If the underlying OS tooling is falling over, there's very little 
that build-gnuradio can do about it.  It has as much troubleshoot-and-repair
  ability as a moribund gnat.
