error building grub during update

[nightowl <nightowl@members.fsf.org>]

I was attempting to update my system using guix pull followed by a 
system reconfigure, and I get the following error reported when it is 
attempting to build grub:

     root@mypc ~# guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

I am just doing an update here, did not make any changes to the config 
file.  Could there be somthing wrong with my system, or is this 
something on the repository end and maybe I just need to try again at a 
later time?  Also, the last lines of the log file show the following:

     legacy_password_test:
     legacy_password_test: PASS
     TEST FAILURE
