It looks like the failing tests are trying to do some HTML rendering,
which requires QtWebKit I suppose. But why is the test suite trying to
run these tests if QtWebKit is explicitly disabled?

The 'check' phase currently doesn't take the 'tests?' keyword parameter
into consideration. Maybe you could add that to your patch.

After disabling the tests, I tried a few things, like loading some
OpenStreetMap data from a database and making a map with it, and
I didn't see any issue. So I think you can add the failing tests to the
list of disabled tests.
