Hmm, you appear to be right, but I don't understand why, as I removed
the tests that referenced the :gui output: 'move-gui, 'glib-or-gtk-wrap,
and 'wrap-program.

Do you understand it?  Did I miss one?

When I try to build without using any of the inherited phases, a test
fails (the transmission package included a phase to remove that test),
so for now I'm building without tests:

    (define-public transmission-qt-without-arguments
      (package
        (inherit transmission)
        (outputs '("out"))
        (name "transmission-qt-without-arguments")
        (arguments
         (list))
        (inputs (modify-inputs (package-inputs transmission)
                  (delete "gtkmm")
                  (append qtbase qttools qtsvg)))))


    ~ guix build transmission-qt-without-arguments --without-tests=transmission-qt-without-arguments
    successfully built /gnu/store/i78ffafvchfn886b17s5vdwjqs387f98-transmission-qt-without-arguments-4.0.6.drv

Will I have to manually add back the phase that deals with removing that
test?  I was hoping to avoid that sort of thing by inheriting from
transmission in the first place...

Thanks.
