I love running tests on the build systems - its gives another layer of
assurance that we are going to build a good package for the relevant
system/architecture.

However, the offending patch makes it impossible on el7-based build
system. Can we instead skip the test (on such systems) if the right nose
version is not installed?

We should file a bug to fix nose on el7.
