Does this happen with a clean checkout? What's going on?

Yes, this happens with a clean checkout in a venv.

The build compiled pycryptopp on my machine; it did not use a wheel.

  • Milestone changed from 1.11.0 to eventually

For reference, this is happening on "Linux Mint Debian Edition 2" (aka "betsy", from ​https://www.linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php). This is based on debian ("jesse", I think, but that page makes me think it might track debian/testing instead).

Daira and I decided to not block the 1.11.0 release for this, since LMDE is a fairly fringe distribution. But if we find a fix and close this ticket before the release happens, we can move it back in.

Assigning to Daira for analysis, since I think she's the only one with an LMDE box.
