Re: mariadb build fails "Failing test(s): main.mysqldump"

[Nikolai Merinov]

Hi Matthew,

I experienced a same issue with a mariadb build and I was able to find
root of the issue and submitted the patch to the guix-patches maillist.

Looks like everybody who updated guix between 2018-11-23 and 2018-12-31
was able to compile mariadb successfully :-)

If you want to work without a custom GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH you can take the
patch from the https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=34351 and
apply it to your cloned guix repository with "git am" command. Then run
"guix pull --commit=$(git rev-parse HEAD) --url=$PWD" to use the guix
from your local commit.

Regards,
Nikolai
