I'm glad to know it is supposed to work in those cases. It seems freedombox uses btrfs and swapfiles do not work on btrfs partitions. I thus tried with zram (apt get install zram-tools, which set up a 256 MiB swap). I could then run propellor --spin to the server, it passed. Then I rm -rf /usr/local/propellor on server and ran propellor --spin again. The build passed again (it took ~75 minute and at some point ghc took 570MiB but it succeedded). I'm back on track, thank you again! """]]
