There is a patch in Ubuntu that might fix it (untested).

Control: severity -1 important

This is caused by the new Pylint that made some stuff private.  The
test need to be rewritten using a different way to load those classes.

For now I'm just disabling the tests, so this issue can be downgraded.
FTR, this is the patch:
