bug#38521: guix package: error: build of `...-youtube-viewer-3.5.8.drv' failed

[Eric Bavier]

FWIW, I recently updated youtube-viewer to version 3.7.0.  That version 
contains a new port to perl-gtk3, so whoever feels like packaging that perl 
module can go right ahead ;)

Thanks for fixing it, now we can upgrade ‘youtube-viewer’ again.  :-)

The developers of youtube-viewer are aware of this and plan to drop the
dependency on perl-gtk2 (moving to gtk3), but this takes time.

In the meantime we could do one of these things:

* build youtube-viewer without the GUI

* disable the single failing test in perl-gtk2 (as long as this doesn’t
  represent an actual problem)

I would prefer not to use an old version of gdk-pixbuf.

So what shall we do?  Build perl-gtk2 against the previous version of
gdk-pixbuf?
And ask upstream if this is a known issue?

Anyone willing to take this? :)
