Fun With More Debian packaging test suite failures... Updating the build dependency to libgit2-dev >= 1.0.1 (which pulls in a similar version to what guix is using) fixes test suite failures ... but only on the amd64 architecture. The same tests pass Using an older version of libgit2-dev (0.28). FWIW, this is building with guile-3.0. The newer version of libgit2-dev introduces several test suite failures on i386 (and armhf) architectures, but the tests work fine on amd64. from tests/channels.log on i386: test-name: latest-channel-instances #:validate-pull location: /build/guix-M9TbTs/guix-1.2.0/tests/channels.scm:202 source: + (test-equal + "latest-channel-instances #:validate-pull" + 'descendant + (let/ec + return + (with-temporary-git-repository + directory + '((add "a.txt" "A") + (commit "first commit") + (add "b.scm" "#t") + (commit "second commit")) + (with-repository + directory + repository + (let* ((commit1 (find-commit repository "first")) + (commit2 (find-commit repository "second")) + (spec (channel + (url (string-append "file://" directory)) + (name 'foo))) + (new (channel + (inherit spec) + (commit (oid->string (commit-id commit2))))) + (old (channel + (inherit spec) + (commit (oid->string (commit-id commit1)))))) + (define (validate-pull channel current commit relation) + (return + (and (eq? channel old) + (string=? + (oid->string (commit-id commit2)) + current) + (string=? + (oid->string (commit-id commit1)) + commit) + relation))) + (with-store + store + (latest-channel-instances + store + (list old) + #:current-channels + (list new) + #:validate-pull + validate-pull))))))) expected-value: descendant actual-value: #f actual-error: + (git-error + #< code: -1 message: "invalid version 0 on git_proxy_options" class: 3>) result: FAIL test-name: channel-news, no news location: /build/guix-M9TbTs/guix-1.2.0/tests/channels.scm:312 source: + (test-equal + "channel-news, no news" + '() + (with-temporary-git-repository + directory + '((add "a.txt" "A") (commit "the commit")) + (with-repository + directory + repository + (let ((channel + (channel + (url (string-append "file://" directory)) + (name 'foo))) + (latest (reference-name->oid repository "HEAD"))) + (channel-news-for-commit + channel + (oid->string latest)))))) expected-value: () actual-value: #f actual-error: + (git-error + #< code: -1 message: "invalid version 0 on git_proxy_options" class: 3>) result: FAIL test-name: latest-channel-instances, missing introduction for 'guix' location: /build/guix-M9TbTs/guix-1.2.0/tests/channels.scm:413 source: + (test-assert + "latest-channel-instances, missing introduction for 'guix'" + (with-temporary-git-repository + directory + '((add "a.txt" "A") + (commit "first commit") + (add "b.scm" "#t") + (commit "second commit")) + (with-repository + directory + repository + (let* ((commit1 (find-commit repository "first")) + (commit2 (find-commit repository "second")) + (channel + (channel + (url (string-append "file://" directory)) + (name 'guix)))) + (guard (c ((formatted-message? c) + (->bool + Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/guix-directory.82hhlD/.git/ [master (root-commit) 936aa16] first commit 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 a.txt [master 6c20741] second commit 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 b.scm gpg: keybox '/tmp/guix-directory.RpLKeD/pubring.kbx' created gpg: /tmp/guix-directory.RpLKeD/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created gpg: key 771F49CBFAAE072D: public key "Ed Two-Fifty " imported gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 gpg: key 771F49CBFAAE072D: "Ed Two-Fifty " not changed gpg: key 771F49CBFAAE072D: secret key imported gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1 gpg: secret keys read: 1 gpg: secret keys imported: 1 gpg: key 82240EDCAB80DA83: public key "Charlie Guix " imported gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 gpg: key 82240EDCAB80DA83: "Charlie Guix " not changed gpg: key 82240EDCAB80DA83: secret key imported gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1 gpg: secret keys read: 1 gpg: secret keys imported: 1 Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/guix-directory.Zkbh5G/.git/ [master (root-commit) d174761] first commit 3 files changed, 12 insertions(+) create mode 100644 .guix-authorizations create mode 100644 .guix-channel create mode 100644 signer.key [master 9c9c798] second commit 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 random (string-contains + (formatted-message-string c) + "introduction")))) + (with-store + store + (latest-channel-instances store (list channel)) + #f)))))) actual-value: #f actual-error: + (git-error + #< code: -1 message: "invalid version 0 on git_proxy_options" class: 3>) result: FAIL live well, vagrant
