bug#42148: guix-1.1.0-13.26611f5 fails to build

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

Hi,

Mathieu Othacehe <othacehe@gnu.org> skribis:

> There are two test failures on berlin during guix-1.1.0-13.26611f5
> tests. Log attached!

The actual build failure concerns code that hasn’t change in recent
years:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
test-name: filtered-port, file
location: /tmp/guix-build-guix-1.1.0-13.26611f5.drv-0/source/tests/utils.scm:146
source:
+ (test-assert
+   "filtered-port, file"
+   (let* ((file (search-path %load-path "guix.scm"))
+          (input (open-file file "r0b")))
+     (let*-values
+       (((compressed pids1)
+         (filtered-port `(,%gzip "-c" "--fast") input))
+        ((decompressed pids2)
+         (filtered-port `(,%gzip "-d") compressed)))
+       (and (every (compose zero? cdr waitpid)
+                   (append pids1 pids2))
+            (equal?
+              (get-bytevector-all decompressed)
+              (call-with-input-file file get-bytevector-all))))))
actual-value: #f
result: FAIL
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

However, the log also shows that something’s wrong with time on that
machine:

I suspect that weird timestamp issue could well explain many things.
