Hello Bert, thank you for your kinds answer.
No I didn't contact the maintainer of the package first, that's my fault :) I have come to the conclusion that the problem is that I don't have enough resources on my PC (RAM) for the task at hand. I have tried to run it on a remote VM with more RAM and seems to work.
