[bug#37722] [PATCH] python-build-system: Fix build of packages without sbin directory.

[Jonathan Frederickson]

Prior to this change, some packages (at least Ansible for example) would fail
to build with an error like:

starting phase `wrap'
find-files: /gnu/store/va1qkgv1qwv1hy6iynzjafqshakqkjs7-ansible-2.8.1/sbin: No
such file or directory

That directory in the store contained a 'bin' directory, but not an 'sbin
directory, and 'find-files' throws an error in that case.

* guix/build/python-build-system.scm (list-of-files): Handle case in which
  directory passed as argument does not exist.

Ah, my apologies, I seem to have been a bit too trigger-happy with this
patch - it doesn't entirely solve the issue I was running into. The
'wrap' phase succeeds at this point but the 'fix-symlinks' phase still
fails. I'm not sure what the underlying issue here is yet, but
*something* changed recently as Ansible builds succeeded not too long
ago... closing this one out though.
