Tests can't pass under EPEL

[moceap]

When I try to build 0.7.2 all tests fail. They were pass in my last try (0.7.0).

• EPEL can tested under Redhat8 or Centos8.

• Both meson and make have the issue.

• I think the issue in python test unit. Even it works under Fedora.

• This is an example of failed test

The text argument in subprocess.Popen() was added in Python 3.7 but EPEL is using Python 3.6. I think the old universal_newlines option is equivalent, but I don’t have Python 3.6 to test this.

[moceap]

When I replaced (text) with (universal_newlines), tests pass except one:

The output from the failed tests:

No idea why this is failing, but you are using meson and the failure mentions Makefile which is odd.
