The test `tests/pack` fails when `make check` is run as a root user. It does not fail when run as a non root user. I found this example by running `make check TESTS="tests/pack.scm"`. Is this an issue for many tests? I can prepare a patch for the relevant part (parts if this also applies to `make check-system` as well) in "2.3 Running the Test Suite" of the manual. Should `make check-system` also be run as a non root user to avoid failing tests? Is there a section in the manual that explains why tests should not be run as a root user which I can just refer to in the patch? If not could anyone provide an explanation which I could include in the patch?
