It seems like your build might be broken.
Personally I would do a `make boostrap'.

   Test package-test-install-prioritized condition:

          (version-list-= '...

          (1 4))
         :value nil))
   FAILED   7/16  package-test-install-prioritized

This is exactly the error I was getting on RHEL7, which is quite a
different system to hydra. It seems unlikely that something like this
would be platform specific. IIUC, it indicates the priority mechanism
simply isn't working.

AFAIK, the test suite is not broken.
