Working external DNS or network access is not something we should IMO
assume being available in build roots.  And besides, as noted; even if
it's available, it may cause build failures due to DNS issues, which
makes the test suite less useful.

Without having a look at the specfile or the package: unless it's
already there it would be useful to have the %check section and "make
test" in it though, the latter commented out and the reasoning
documented next to it.  Or if possible, leave it uncommented and disable
only the tests that require network access.
