ledger fails to install - 5 tests failed out of 352

[Divan Santana]

Hello fellow Guixers,

So ledger fails to install with the following

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
99% tests passed, 5 tests failed out of 352

Total Test time (real) =  37.60 sec

The following tests FAILED:
         47 - BaselineTest_dir-import_py (Failed)
         49 - BaselineTest_dir-python_py (Failed)
         59 - BaselineTest_feat-import_py (Failed)
        104 - BaselineTest_opt-datetime-format (Failed)
        201 - BaselineTest_opt-time-report (Failed)
Errors while running CTest

guix system: error: build failed: build of `/gnu/store/f548wcr2crf7a8ghrn34xk37p65j5isc-ledger-3.1.1.drv' failed
#+END_EXAMPLE

What can one do to fix this error and get it working again?

Suppose we could install an older version of ledger if there is an older version
in the substitutes (correct word?) if it exists.

This is a packaging issue in Guix.  You’d be welcome to help though!
:-)

I’d suggest building it with:

  guix build ledger --keep-failed

and then inspecting the test log files left by CMake under
/tmp/guix-build-ledger*:

Thanks,
Ludo’.
