bug#23582: Test failure on "make check" from a fresh git checkout (commit 9684e30b9b597b93ae9c797ba8f3b40eff893ebe)

[Konrad Hinsen]

Hi Leo,

> I'd guess that Ubuntu, like Debian, by default disables the unprivileged

creation of containers.

What is the value of '/proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone'?

$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone
1

If you followed the instructions in the manual while installing Guix
[0], then your daemon's socket should be in /var/guix. When building
Guix from the Git checkout, did you set the value of localstatedir like
this when configuring?

$ ./configure --localstatedir=/var

No. I just followed the instructions under "contributing" blindly.

If not, it defaults to '/usr/local'. If that's what happened, can you
reconfigure as shown above, and try Ludo's command again?

I did:

$ ./configure --localstatedir=/var
$ make check

The environment test case still fails. Then again
