I am not sure what causes the build failure, it's not the first time I
hear about it but I've never been able to properly trace it to its roots
(and it never happened for me).
In short: I'm trying to find the cause.

If you could remove the qgis-python package from the system and check
back if the build failure persists that would help to assess the problem.
