[Checking the build environment](https://travis-ci.org/github/native-api/test_travis/jobs/674435368) shows that [in ARM64 Python image, `/home/travis/.cache/pip/wheels` is erroneously owned by `root`](https://travis-ci.org/github/native-api/test_travis/jobs/674435368#L12148).

So a workaround would be:

```auto
sudo chown -Rv $USER:$(id -g) ~/.cache/pip/wheels

```
