bug#40535: [core-updates]: Updating `guix' makes package-transitive-supported-systems test fail

[Jan Nieuwenhuizen]

Hi,

On current core-updates

    d523eb5c9c gnu: python-cython: The i686 python2 workaround is needed for 32-bit ARM too.

updating the guix package like so

    make update-guix-package

leads to a test failure of package-transitive-supported-systems

    make check TESTS=tests/packages

=>

    test-name: package-transitive-supported-systems, implicit inputs
    location: /home/janneke/src/guix/core-updates/tests/packages.scm:397
    source:
    + (test-equal
    +   "package-transitive-supported-systems, implicit inputs"
    +   %supported-systems
    +   (let ((p (dummy-package
    +              "foo"
    +              (build-system gnu-build-system)
    +              (supported-systems
    +                `("does-not-exist" "foobar" ,@%supported-systems)))))
    +     (parameterize
    +       ((%current-system "armhf-linux"))
    +       (package-transitive-supported-systems p))))
    expected-value: ("x86_64-linux" "i686-linux" "armhf-linux" "aarch64-linux" "mips64el-linux" "i586-gnu")
    actual-value: ("x86_64-linux" "i686-linux")
    result: FAIL

Last week, when core-updates was at

    1808e64de0 gnu: coreutils: Typo: Use libcap only when supported.

it worked correctly.

This is unfortunate, as wip-hurd-vm (freshly rebased) depends on a guix
update.

Greetings,
janneke

This is a known problem: <https://bugs.gnu.org/40482>.  I've merged the
reports.  We decided on #guix to ignore it for now, you can try one of
the workarounds described in #40482 in the mean time.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
