yeah, me too :)

I just checked on two different machines and you’re right, on my main
machine the test suite works (even across multiple runs), on the other
one three tests[1] fail – with exactly the same Guix version
(commit 6a0fec57092d574c33b997e5972012e9c29a4dd4). This should not
happen in the build environment. Imo it would be worth figuring out why
it does nontheless.

Cheers,
Lars
