Indeed, this is a mistake on my side.  Here are 2 patches that should
fix this issue.

0001-gnu-cuirass-Update-to-revision-2.patch
Description: Text Data

0002-services-cuirass-Put-specifications-in-the-store.patch
Description: Text Data

Tell me if this works better.

Next problem to solve is that 'git' is not found in the path even when
put in the global packages...

Thanks for testing the Cuirass service,
