Comment 2 gustau.perez 2014-06-26 06:20:28 UTC 
I've seen empathy to fail randomly. The parallel problem is caused by some  python scripts that live under tools/ that expect files in /tmp which seem to be create earlier in build process. It may sometimes work and sometimes won't depending on how the schedules runs the jobs.

This is happening even with empathy 3.x. I'd not commit that change as it will need to reverted in the future.
