Not sure why, but this seems to have broken "guix pull" ... for at least
one other person, too!

I swear previous attempts had significantly more lines of similar but
still largely unhelpful information.

This was fixed in commit c6ee7b0f79632d50ad491b75c240547be8f40c31
earlier today.  Apparently 'specifications->packages' cannot be used in
an operating system definition lest building the guix-system-tests named
derivation fails mysteriously without an error message.

I haven't investigated the reason, I just inspected what was different
between the pounce test and the ngircd tests, which have otherwise
similar dependencies and structure.

Closing.
