Perhaps mongo-tools: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/39637 It broke when Go was upgraded to 1.13, and changed the test library. I fixed some other Go packages that ran into this issue, but it wasn't as easy for mongo-tools. Our version is old, so it should be updated. For various reasons, I don't see this package being fixed in the short term. Best, Jack
