Great that you were able to fix it!

Is changing the build system necessary to fix the problems you
encountered, or is it a side change?  From the current build log at
<https://ci.guix.gnu.org/log/3j08dl90hlyq9haf9lh61k43fs60dcih-seahorse-3.30>,
it does seem that the answer is “yes”.  :-)

Likewise, these changes were necessary, right?

One last thing: are those patches upstream, or is there a bug report
where they were discussed?

If so could you share the URLs?  I can add them on your behalf in the
.patch file if you want.  That’ll allow us to better keep track of where
our patches come from and when we can remove them.

Thanks!

Ludo’.
