Build with test suite

Asked by Gerard Weatherby

Should all the tests work if I download and build the source package? I did the following on a Unbuntu 18.04 system:
apt-get source python3.6

sudo apt-get build-dep python3.6
cd python3.6.-3.6.5
./configure
make
make test

and had the following fail:
test_asyncio test_dbm test_ensurepip test_httplib test_lib2to3
    test_platform test_ssl test_venv

If you look at the build log of the version in Ubuntu, you will see also there some test failed.

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/362973205/buildlog_ubuntu-bionic-amd64.python3.6_3.6.5-3_BUILDING.txt.gz

3 tests failed:
    test_dbm test_lib2to3 test_platform

Can you help with this problem?
