Yes, there are 4 tests still failing with the latest master branch
without unprivileged container.
But there is a new problem, tests/guix-environment-container.sh fails
even when running the tests as root. The test log is in the
attachment. I am running Debian 8, could anyone verify this? I would
also like to try it on Debian unstable, but currently my PC cannot
boot, I am using my old laptop.
