Subject: [PATCH] tests: install: Switch to modifying the gc-root-service-type.
Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2017 20:58:10 +0100

Rather than adding the service to the system.

The previous approach is causing the system tests to fail, as the os already
contains a service of type gc-root-service-type, and the way that this service
extends the system-service doesn't compose, causing an error if its added
twice.

  ERROR: In procedure symlink: File exists

* gnu/tests/install.scm (operating-system-with-gc-roots): Modify the existing
  gc-root-service, rather than adding another.
