Makes sense; it seems like it's present in the integration and tool_purge_account tests while the third group of tests – unit – seems to not rely on those. I adjusted the files to remove those two sets of tests and things built alright.

Gotcha. This is really useful and helpful; thanks a ton for walking through it.

I've attached two patches, one for each package; the SDK one removes the troublesome tests so the rest can be ran.
[mega-sdk2.patch (text/x-patch, attachment)]
[megacmd.patch (text/x-patch, attachment)]
