Dear David, The 3 failing tests -- listed below -- are all relative to connection over Internet. As Ludo spotted out [2]: > << > I think there’s not much we can do on your side, but you should > definitely complain to your ISP. :-) > >> I do not know how you run the test suite and I am totally ignorant about Arch Linux, but could you check if everything is right about your Internet connection when running the test suite; especially if you use kind of isolation. I am inclined to close this bug because it is not coming from our side. I mean we have already enough open bugs. ;-) But, let us know how could we help you to resolve this. And maybe the discussion could be moved on help-guix@gnu.org. PS: Note the 3 same tests are failing too about the version 1.0.1.3489-0ed97 -- that you have sent me privately. All the best, simon --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- test-name: substitute query, alternating URLs location: /tmp/yaourt-tmp-dave/aur-guix/src/guix-0.11.0/tests/store.scm:456 source: + (test-assert + "substitute query, alternating URLs" [...] + (not (has-substitutes? s o))))))) substitute: warning: authentication and authorization of substitutes disabled! substitute: guix substitute: warning: ACL for archive imports seems to be uninitialized, substitutes may be unavailable substitute: warning: authentication and authorization of substitutes disabled! substitute: guix substitute: warning: ACL for archive imports seems to be uninitialized, substitutes may be unavailable substitute: Backtrace: [...] substitute: guix/ui.scm:1209:6: In procedure run-guix-command: substitute: guix/ui.scm:1209:6: unmatched line "" actual-value: #f actual-error: + (srfi-34 + #) result: FAIL --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- test-name: home-page: host not found location: /tmp/yaourt-tmp-dave/aur-guix/src/guix-0.11.0/tests/lint.scm:393 source: + (test-assert + "home-page: host not found" + (->bool + (string-contains + (with-warnings + (let ((pkg (package + (inherit (dummy-package "x")) + (home-page "http://does-not-exist")))) + (check-home-page pkg))) + "domain not found"))) actual-value: #f result: FAIL --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- + guix download --version guix download (GNU Guix) 0.11.0 Copyright (C) 2016 the Guix authors License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.
