Re: `make check` fails when trying to build from Git

(Re-replying again, as the mail did not reach guix-devel)

Hi Ludovic,

Sorry for the late reply. I've pulled the new changes from remote to my local repo, and tried following the same instructions again. I don't remember clearly, but the test suite's UI seems to have changed the last time I tried running them, as well as the number of errors that I've previously encountered. With that being said, I've attached the logs below.

Out of topic question: Since I'm using Gmail, is it messing up with the style or layout?

Is there any format that I should be following, while sending mail?

It would be nice if you could report it: the list of FAILs and the
corresponding .log files.  Also please mention how you run them: Guix
System or another distro, and whether or not you’re in ‘guix shell -C’.

Some tests are enabled when networking is available, and it’s not
unusual for these to fail if the networking conditions aren’t optimal
(for instance, some ISPs set up DNS hijacking, which breaks some of the
expectations.)

Anyway, it’s probably worth investigating.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
