For various reasons, I don't see this package being fixed in > the short term. mongo-tools is definitely failing to build, and it has been since the 11th of Feb (2020) I think. It seems like you got further in understanding this than I did. Given that this seems like a test failure, and I don't think there's anything to suggest that the actual functionality doesn't work, the course of action I see here is to disable either the failing tests, or running the test suite entirely. I originally packaged MongoDB and mongo-tools for Guix, but that was before the licence of MongoDB changed, so I'm not sure about the long term future of the packages. Keeping the packages we have actually building though is still useful.
