+Description: Remove networking tests
+ Upstream is attempting connection to 192.0.2.1 on port 80, and expects
+ it to always timeout. However, some Debian users may well have a web
+ server running on that IP address, meaning the test would fail in such
+ setup (even if this is reserved IANA IPs). Therefore, removing such bad
+ tests.
+ .
+ Also, these tests have been failing for a reason on my arm64 builder,
+ probably because it's a slow machine.
