At this point I think I'd be looking for more logging.  If there's any
verbosity that you haven't already enabled then enable it, and if there
isn't then it's probably time to add some.  In cases like this I'd add
extra logging statements in the sources and rebuild.  It's not unusual
for it to take several iterations to get to the bottom of the problem,
because you don't really know where the extra logging is needed.

If that sounds a bit depressing, how about spinning up a VM with some
more popular distro like Ubuntu or Debian to act as a local mirror?
You'd only need to boot it once or twice a day for a few minutes and
if you installed from a distro's packages it would probably Just Work.
