Hi !
I managed to build Tails, finally ! So let me share here the little
patch I ended up with, in case it can help someone. This patch deals
with the transient network problems I experienced.
Additionally, I increased the RAM of the VM to 1024M, just to be on the
safe side. I've experienced an oomkiller once (clearly seen in the logs)
during my several attempts to build Tails.
Cheers.
