Hi,
Expect seems to be broken somehow resulting in these issues:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/5973266
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/5973664
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/5973251
And now running:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/5980252
According to nixpkgs git log Vladimir fixed this already:

libffi: disable tests on FreeBSD as well
There are strange build failures of expect. Ikwildrpepper says the bash
eats all CPU, but the build is stuck.
-=-=-=-
But the queue is full of old builds without this fix.
There are 5069 *-freebsd builds containing the package name python and
2431 containing pypy. Since the commit message is about libffi, it's
reasonable to think that pypy is affected.
Since one timeout failure is exactly 1 hour, this means that we will
have to wait 1200 hours (i686 and x86_64 builds in parallel, so not 2400
hours) at least. Thats 50 days.
Can someone please fix this? Or alternatively tell me why I'm full of
sh*t and why my calculation is broken? :)
Thanks,
Gergely
