cuirass: fail to install with simple configuration

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a simple cuirass server. But in the last month I

never got it working. This time I tried with help from Mathieu.

cuirass-spec:

```

(define %cuirass-specs

'((#:name . "my-manifest")

(#:load-path-inputs . ("guix"))

(#:package-path-inputs . ())

(#:proc-input . "guix")

(#:proc-file . "build-aux/cuirass/gnu-system.scm")

(#:proc . cuirass-jobs)

(#:proc-args (subset . "all"))

(#:inputs . (((#:name . "guix")

(#:url . "git://git.savannah.gnu.org/guix.git")

(#:load-path . ".")

(#:branch . "master")

(#:no-compile? . #t))

((#:name . "jonsger-guix")

(#:url . "https://gitlab.com/jonsger/jonsger-guix.git")

(#:load-path . ".")

(#:branch . "master")

(#:no-compile? . #t))))

(#:build-outputs . ())))

(list %cuirass-specs)

```

Used as:

```

(service cuirass-service-type

(cuirass-configuration

(specifications %cuirass-specs)

(use-substitutes? #t)))

```

Gives following error when reconfiguring this system:

```

Hello Jonathan,

Thanks for the bug report. This should be fixed with

d6a8f0a9781a90c3037f25e51d7ff32e50f7a8c1.

You will then probably hit this one:

but we'll see that later :)

Thanks,

Mathieu

Yes, fix confirmed.

I do :(

At least it's reproducible. Using one input works, but using more than

one input causes an exception during git fetching. It seems to be broken

since at least a few months.

It makes me think that we need a stronger test suite for Cuirass.

Thanks,

Mathieu

Hello Jonathan,

After fixing this issue, see: 761443bca6178b4ac299a8bd368d1cac4abda5f8,

I'm able to successfully evaluate and build your specification.

I still need to update the Cuirass package accordingly.

Thanks,

Mathieu

Would be great :)

Thanks

Done with b3f5402d2d506271857d2c987b79b741d4b0ec33.
