bug#56667: test failures tests/channels.scm and tests/texlive.scm

[Chris Keschnat]

Hello,
I am trying to follow "16.1 Building from Git"[1] but this results
in two test failures on my machine.

Initially I ran:

#+begin_src sh

  git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
  cd guix
  git fetch origin keyring:keyring
  guix git authenticate 9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad \
    "BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D  E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA"
  guix environment guix --pure --ad-hoc help2man git strace
  ./bootstrap
  ./configure --localstatedir=/var
  make && make check

#+end_src

Rerunning only the failed tests:

#+begin_src sh

  make check TESTS="tests/channels.scm tests/texlive.scm"

#+end_src

Output:

#+begin_src sh

  $ make check TESTS="tests/channels.scm tests/texlive.scm"

#+end_src

And results in the attached =test-suite.log=

test-suite.log
Description: test-suite.log

Am I doing anything wrong? I tried reading the results but cannot figure
out what is wrong.
