On core-updates the package arc-theme fails:

It seams that only GNOME versions until 3.22 are valid.

Nix has a workaround that sets the version down:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/165fa89762d7156bb3f2774cd3ff0d40cd0a9606

If I set the version hard to 3.22 the package builds again
successfully:

-     '(#:phases
+     '(#:configure-flags
+       '("--with-gnome=3.22")
+       #:phases

Is it legitimate to patch it like that or do we need more tests?
