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

Hi Guix,

ever since the merge of core-updates-frozen, I've been unable to build
mutter locally, while fetching it from CI is usually fine.  Attached is
a build log -- note, that the traceback is generated by me killing the
process with a SIGSEGV, it would otherwise go on for several days.

Cheers

You'd want to let upstream know about these flaky tests, and add the
reference to the upstream issue in a comment so we can track progress.

Otherwise, LGTM.

Thanks,
