Hi Folks,

The command `guix build synergy` currently fails with:

    $ guix build synergy
    ...
    phase `build' succeeded after 123.5 seconds
    starting phase `check'
    phase `check' failed after 0.0 seconds
    builder for `/gnu/store/xwj5qbqkn4ybiiwskypfgglqyvkl539s-synergy-1.8.8.drv' failed with exit code 1
    @ build-failed /gnu/store/xwj5qbqkn4ybiiwskypfgglqyvkl539s-synergy-1.8.8.drv - 1 builder for `/gnu/store/xwj5qbqkn4ybiiwskypfgglqyvkl539s-synergy-1.8.8.drv' failed with exit code 1
    guix build: error: build failed: build of `/gnu/store/xwj5qbqkn4ybiiwskypfgglqyvkl539s-synergy-1.8.8.drv' failed

It appears that the package now builds into the
"synergy-core-1.8.8-stable" directory instead of "synergy-1.8.8-stable".
Sadly it sounds like the renaming is to make way for "Synergy" to be
used as the name of the proprietary release.

Build completes successfully with the attached patch.

Regards,
Ben
