texlive-bin fails to build on armhf-linux, breaking guix pull

Something I've noticed from data.guix.gnu.org, it fails to compute the

guix derivation for armhf-linux because texlive-bin fails to build [1]

1: https://data.guix.gnu.org/job/28674

phase `check' failed after 820.9 seconds

command "make" "check" "-j" "8" failed with status 2

builder for `/gnu/store/hq3r8ayp8ak2p36y016x62f028m4miv1-texlive-bin-20210325.drv' failed with exit code 1

error: while computing manifest entry derivation for armhf-linux

I've included what looks like the failure at the bottom of the email. I

did find a thread [2] which suggested this is a real upstream issue on

armhf-linux.

I forgot an important link, here's a texlive-bin derivation on

data.guix.gnu.org, which links to some logs for failed builds [1]. I'm

not quite sure why the derivation here doesn't match up with the

derivation shown in the log above.

Fixed in ca6de276db0de1a4b7fdd29dbfea401937f50ff7 by skipping the two

offending tests.

Thanks,
