Bug Description
Like this:
pybuild --test -i python{version} -p 3.6
I: pybuild base:184: cd /<<PKGBUILDDIR>
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
E: pybuild pybuild:283: test: plugin distutils failed with: exit code=139: cd /<<PKGBUILDDIR>
dh_auto_test: pybuild --test -i python{version} -p 3.6 returned exit code 13
It doesn't happen 100% of the time locally, maybe 75% of the time. I installed gdb and python3.6-dbg in the schroot session and the backtrace is moderately terrifying: http://
I suspect bouncing on retry will get the package to build eventually but is probably not the right thing to do.

the issue is that casacore misdetects python3 support with 3.6 due to a hard-coded list of version numbers, and thus the "python3" library is linked to python2.7.
python3 runtime doesn't appreciate having this object running around in its address space.
