That's a minor issue. Ping me when / if you push the change and I'll ask
to evaluate the master branch.

I do not think we should downgrade. I expect that most Guix users are
using the new versions of NSS without any trouble on the x86_64
architecture.

We should either skip this test on armhf or downgrade the packages on
armhf.

Do we understand the nature of the test failure, and what sort of
problems could be masked if we skip the test?
