Re: python-minimal compilation is breaking

[Mathieu Othacehe]

Hi,

I ran into the same problem on a very powerful machine. In my case the congestion test was the problem. It finished by eating all of my 128Gb of RAM.

This problem is known and fixed upstream by disabling the test. I submitted a patch to disable it on our 3.6.5 version, but it will have to go to core-updates if merged.

Thanks,

Mathieu

I submitted this patch that I created while struggling with the same

Perhaps it might help you too?
