[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Dear Guix,

The build for gst-plugins-base is failing, breaking the builds of quite
a few dependent packages.  The attached patch disables the two tests
that are failing.

It seems that both tests attempt to set-up or connect to a TCP socket on
"localhost".  Would this work in the build environment?

Is it OK to apply the following patch to fix the build for this package?

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen

I cannot reproduce this failure, and on Hydra everything is fine:

https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/gst-plugins-base-1.12.4.x86_64-linux

Strange that it fails on your machine, it suggests some "impurity" in
the build environment.  Can you try to figure out why it does not work?

TCP sockets on localhost are normally fine, as long as they don't use
getaddrinfo() (I've been thinking about adding support for that).

Right..  So the patch is not needed.
