All youtube-dl contact servers on the internet during the internet and thus violate the Gentoo policy. From the devmanual [0] (pointed out by Michał Górny): Sometimes test suites (and other build-time programs) attempt to use remote or local network, or production servers running on the host. All of these are **strictly** forbidden. [...] (emphasis mine). This violation is even severer as the test suite contacts NSFW websites and tries to download it, which is even illegal in some countries. Thus posing a real thread for people using this ebuild of Gentoo. Please stop that! Setting severity to critical for these reasons. The fix is simple and supported by upstream: Use the 'offlinetest' make target instead of the 'test' make target, i.e. emake offlinetest (This fix would also solve issues #635996) Thanks.
