bug#21410: [TEST-FAIL] 2 tests failed when running `make check' on Debian

[Alex Vong]

Hi everyone,

I tried to compile Guix on Debian Sid,
the compilation succeeded,
but the 2 of the tests in the Testsuit failed.

The following is what commands I have run,
all commands are run as non-root:

$ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/guix.git
$ cd guix
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure
$ make -j4
$ make -j4 check

The Testsuite summary (test-suite.log) is inlined below:

======================================
   GNU Guix 0.8.3: ./test-suite.log
======================================

# TOTAL: 47
# PASS:  45
# SKIP:  0
# XFAIL: 0
# FAIL:  2
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0

.. contents:: :depth: 2
