The package java-bouncycastle has a failing test suite on core-updates.
After the first test fails there is no more progress and the build
eventually times out.

I have disabled the test suite for now, but we should try to fix this.

The failing test is “org.bouncycastle.mail.smime.test.AllTests”.

I've observed this behavior on master: the test fails, build hangs for
some very long time and then resumes and completes. I'm not sure why
there is a failure and how not to run this specific test though.

Yes, you are right.  The check phase does succeed after a very long
time.

I think the bigger problem here is that we are running tests but
silently ignore test failures.  This happens since the change to ignore
return values of build phases, because the ant-build-system only returns
#f on a test failure when it should raise an exception instead.
