Looks like tests want to connect to a dbus service from the system version of gnome-photos, thus fresh install fails. That also would mean some testing (whatever is on the other side of the bus) might be done against the system version, not what's being installed/upgraded to. After initial install without tests, tests pass as it finds the service. If hitting the problem during (soon to be) stabilization, please install without tests and re-run with tests afterwards. We'll need to fix it properly as a lower priority, thus the bug entry for later too. make check-TESTS make[3]: Entering directory '/tmp/portage/media-gfx/gnome-photos-3.24.5/work/gnome-photos-3.24.5/tests' (gnome-photos:641): Grilo-WARNING **: [registry] grl-registry.c:1362: Plugin 'grl-flickr' not available ** (gnome-photos:641): WARNING **: Unable to activate Grilo's Flickr plugin: Plugin 'grl-flickr' not available (gnome-photos:641): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.photos' is not installed Creating logfile at /tmp/dogtail-portage/logs/basic_20180414-233228_debug ...
