offlineimap build fails |

On a x86_64 computer when I run `guix build --no-substitutes
offlineimap` the build fails because the "test_ipv6_available" test
fails.
In the system configuration ipv6 is disabled:
```
(kernel-arguments
(append
(list "nomodeset" "ipv6.disable=1")
%default-kernel-arguments))
```
Taking the failing test's name "test_ipv6_available" literally I would
like to ask if having this test required to build this offlineimap
dependency is necessary? Could this test be allowed to fail or be
skipped without failing the build? This would accommodate Guix users
who have disabled ipv6.
`guix describe` outputs:

Considering this discussion, I do not see what could be done on the Guix
side. Therefore, I am closing.
Feel free to reopen if I miss something.
All the best,
