I've already posted to the (non-public) sage-skynet mailing list about the

 The errors all appear to stem from building on an NFS filesystem, on
which SQLite may be unable to lock the graph database graphs.db.

As far as I'm aware, we don't have a say in how Skynet is administered.
 We are grateful to Mariah Lenox for helping us out with building Sage
on Skynet.
