So I just did a build and install of Erlang OTP-23.3.4.9 (--without-javac
--without-odbc) from a clone of the GitHub repo. (pre-built Ubuntu packages are
an older release and install a tonne the X-windows libraries just for `wx`
thppt) and also rebuilt rebar3 from source using this version of Erlang and
repeated the `chk` test.  It still fails to fetch test dependencies.

I must be missing something in the build/install process despite following the
instructions.

Other VMs (NetBSD, FreeBSD, pre-built Erlang) behave.  Would like to fix this
Ubuntu server VM since its important for work.
