bug#47018: core-updates: make check fails when guix-daemon is running

[Chris Marusich]

Hi Lars-Dominik and Maxim,

Lars-Dominik, thank you for the quick reply!  Maxim, do you have time to
take a look at this bug?  Lars-Dominik mentioned that it's possible that
your recent changes to patch-and-repack might be related somehow.

Thank you for the tip.  I haven't checked this yet due to lack of time,
but I will eventually.

I am posting mainly to note that this problem also affects
tests/pack.scm, which appears to be the only other test (besides
tests/builders.scm) using the with-external-store form.  Both tests fail
when a guix-daemon is running.  So, I think something about the
with-external-form is not playing well with the rest of the code, but I
don't fully understand the problem yet.

More investigation is required...
