Ah, I just noticed that you merged 'core-updates' into 'master', so now
this makes sense.  I restored 'core-updates' to the way you had left it.

Personally, I think this merge was premature, with over 900 new failures
on core-updates compared to the previous master branch.  Neither armhf
nor i686 would be able to build a typical system now, because armhf is
missing e2fsprogs and i686 is missing GRUB.  armhf is also missing most
of its GUI programs due to <https://bugs.gnu.org/31708>, and i686 is
missing gst-plugins-base and thus GNOME and many other important GUI
programs and desktops.
