Hi Ludo,

it is indeed reproducible. No matter how many times it always keeps failing on this one test.

I've had this problem for a long time, which is a little bit annoying since it means I have to wait until a substitute is available every time.

I didn't experience this on my laptop.  Is it reproducible if you run
"guix build guix" a second time?

Thanks,
