I’ll be there!

To give everyone a head start: we have some annoying errors:

1) 
/gnu/store/aw65rwl2c50ckwghafv0p98hpg4wqvxm-vigra-1.11.1-0.9b514fa.drv 
has a bunch of test failures; this blocks libreoffice.  Looks like 
this and was caused by the most recent boost upgrade:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Boost.Python.ArgumentError: Python argument types in
    vigra.vigranumpycore.constructArrayFromAxistags(type, tuple, 
    numpy.dtype[float32], AxisTags, bool)
did not match C++ signature:
    constructArrayFromAxistags(boost::python::api::object, 
    vigra::ArrayVector<long, std::allocator<long> >, NPY_TYPES, 
    vigra::AxisTags, bool)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


2) python-notebook has failing tests.  Same for a more recent 
version (6.4.3).  The failing tests *all* relate to deleting files 
with send2trash.  Upgrading send2trash does not help.  These tests 
also fail outside the build container environment.  The errors 
look like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
notebook-6.4.3/notebook/services/contents/manager.py:279: in 
delete
    self.delete_file(path)
notebook-6.4.3/notebook/services/contents/filemanager.py:533: in 
delete_file
    send2trash(os_path)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 

path = 
'/tmp/guix-build-python-notebook-6.4.3.drv-0/tmpkwgdpuk_/Untitled.ipynb'

    def send2trash(path):
        try:
            f = Gio.File.new_for_path(path)
            f.trash(cancellable=None)
        except GObject.GError as e:
            if e.code == Gio.IOErrorEnum.NOT_SUPPORTED:
                # We get here if we can't create a trash directory 
                on the same
                # device. I don't know if other errors can result 
                in NOT_SUPPORTED.
                raise TrashPermissionError('')
>           raise OSError(e.message)
E           OSError: Error trashing file 
/tmp/guix-build-python-notebook-6.4.3.drv-0/tmpkwgdpuk_/Untitled.ipynb: 
No such file or directory
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


3) Building Gnome systems fails because of a package conflict. 
Commit 781f475bbac4e73848f68cb9f420a7283ec17c16 is the direct 
cause; different variants of at-spi2-atk end up in the same 
profile.

Yes!
