bug#63394: guix pack and proot

["André A. Gomes" <andre@atlas.engineer>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 356 bytes --]

Hi Guix,

I acknowledge the answers provided, but I'd like to emphasize that guix
pack won't run if proot is broken.  This is a critical issue and a
temporary solution is simple enough: disable the tests for the current
proot version packaged.

Please check the patch attached.
