Hi,
Lars-Dominik, I'm CCing you on this email because you introduced thecode discussed below, so I'm hoping you might know something about it.If you could please take a look, I'd really appreciate it!
Starting with commit 09448c0994390697e876db235a3b773311795238, "makecheck" fails when a guix-daemon is running. (It doesn't fail whenguix-daemon is not running, since the problematic code below is onlyexecuted when an "external store" is available.) A guix-daemon isusually running when one manually invokes "make check" on a system whereGuix has already been installed.
One specific test failure is test/guix-package.sh, which fails asfollows:

The test succeeds on the previous commit.
Upon closer inspection, it seems the failure occurs when callingpackage-derivation. By putting the following code into thetests/builders.scm file...

...I was able to get this error message when running "make checkTESTS=tests/builders.scm":

I'm not sure exactly what the problem is. I'm inclined to believe thatit represents some sort of test logic bug, rather than a real pythonpackaging bug, I'm not really sure.
I see that the problematic forms are using macros. Specifically, thetests/builders.scm code is attempting to simultaneously mix invocationsof lambdas, the test-assert syntax (i.e., macro), and thewith-external-store syntax (i.e., macro). I wonder if there's amacro-related bug lurking here... Any ideas?
For now, the failures can be worked around by stopping guix-daemon whenrunning "make check." Naturally, this bug isn't a problem when guixbuilds guix, since an external store is not available in the buildenvironment, so the problematic code doesn't get executed there.
