Kmscon may discover multiple inputs, corresponding to multiple devices. This
means that the uxkb_dev_keymap_update function may be called multiple times,
and the FIFO is registered on each input poll loop.
When a new layout is written on the FIFO by the installer, the first input
picking up the message, will apply the new layout. However, that input may not
be the input that the user is currently using.
To fix it, register the FIFO on the first input poll loop, but apply the new
layout on all the inputs in the uxkb_keymap_update_handler function.
* gnu/packages/patches/kmscon-runtime-keymap-switch.patch
(uxkb_keymap_update_handler): Apply the new layout to all the inputs.
(input_new_dev): Register the FIFO fd only on the first input poll loop.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47889>.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (esp-partition?): Remove the MSDOS check.
(auto-partition!): On MSDOS disks, check if an ESP partition is present. If
that's the case, do not remove it. Otherwise, if UEFI is supported, create
one.

Until now, as soon as you had selected the keyboard layout in the
Guix System installer, kmscon would start spinning on epoll_wait(2)
calls because of an event on the initial FIFO file
descriptor (corresponding to the fact that the client closed it.)
* gnu/packages/patches/kmscon-runtime-keymap-switch.patch: In
'uxkb_keymap_update_handler', add calls to 'ev_eloop_rm_fd', 'close',
and 'uxkb_dev_keymap_update' In 'uxkb_dev_keymap_update', add call
to 'unlink'.

This ensures applications such as IceCat can properly text (numbers in
the case of IceCat).
* gnu/packages/enlightenment.scm (enlightenment)[propagated-inputs]: Add
FONT-DEJAVU.
* gnu/packages/mate.scm (mate)[propagated-inputs]: New field.
* gnu/packages/xfce.scm (xfce)[propagated-inputs]: New field.
Previously, (read-partition-uuid "/does/not/exist") would return #f.
With this change, a 'system-error exception is raised as expected.
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (ENOENT-safe): Clarify docstring.
(partition-field-reader): Remove use of 'ENOENT-safe'.
(partition-predicate): Wrap READER in 'ENOENT-safe'.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47745>.
* gnu/tests/ldap.scm (run-ldap-test): Use a password with more that 8
characters so that dscreate doesn't fail.
The patchwork test sometimes fail because there's not enough available RAM in
the marionette. Increase the VM memory size to 1024MiB.
* gnu/tests/web.scm (run-patchwork-test): Increase VM memory size to 1024MiB.
The "http-get" test is sometimes failing because the Web server is not yet
initialized and returns the 500 error code.
Use the retry-or-error procedure, like in the tailon test to do a few retries.
* gnu/tests/web.scm (run-tailon-test): Move "retry-or-error" procedure to the
top level and adapt its call.
(run-patchwork-test): Use it.
* gnu/packages/python-xyz.scm (python-tifffile) [version]: Update to
2021.4.8.
[propagated-inputs]: Drop python-roifiles, which is only required for
tests (disabled). Add python-imagecodecs, which allows decoding
compressed tiff files.
Works around <https://bugs.gnu.org/47791>

* gnu/packages/linux.scm (util-linux)[arguments]: Pass #:tests?.
