Guix package fails to build because of a test error (see the last lines of the
full build log:
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/log/f5if2qb5rsqag3a6jy5vga1l9hm9pkj0-dovecot-2.3.9.3).
As the name suggests, this is dovecot 2.3.9.3, the latest version. Previous
versions built fine, as well as the same version on x86 and x86_64. Note that
the build on guix's build farm was done in a qemu vm, but I got the same
test failure on real hardware.

seems to be running fine when I ignore the tests.
