TST: py36-test-oldestdeps failing with timeout exceeded #10160
Description
Description
CI of master and PRs are blocked by failure in the py36-test-oldestdeps job in Travis CI. Due to the way stages are set, a bunch of tests are not run because of that.
The fact that it started happening on master after #10123 was merged might be a pure coincidence, as the CI was green on that PR before merge. I also see the same failures in completely unrelated PRs like #10152.
If this is a problem upstream at Travis, hopefully it would fix itself soon. If not soon enough, maybe we should start considering seriously to move away from Travis sooner than later.
If this is a problem with our "old dependencies" setting, then it needs to be identified and updated.
