Hi.  Beginning last week (I don't recall precisely which day), when I
issue `guix upgrade', Guix wants to upgrade wget2, saying "(dependencies
or package changed)"; however, the upgrade fails because the test suite
of gnutls-dane fails.  I have attached the build log.  Note that I
recompressed the build log with xz, making it slightly smaller than with
bzip2.

I use Guix on an updated Debian buster with many packages from
backports, including the kernel---my kernel is:

    $ uname -a
    Linux jorge--inspiron-5570 5.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 
5.8.10-1~bpo10+1 (2020-09-26) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Description: application/xz

This is because of a "time bomb" in GnuTLS:

  https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/967

It was fixed in 3.6.14.  I worked around it for now by making
'gnutls-dane' inherit from a newer version in commit
7177411c34be42aa1c539f462f0de191c74a5913.

We'll do an 'ungrafting round' shortly so that we can fix this in GnuTLS
proper.
