Hey Leo,

> cannot build derivation `/gnu/store/20flyxbjjl8as5aca4gzf3b54as1gr9z-ntp-4.2.8p15.drv': 1 dependencies couldn't be built 

The installation tests are run in a network isolated environment. This
means that we need to make sure that every single derivation that will
be needed during the installation is made available.

It is for sure a tricky business. If you have a look to the error line I
pasted above, you will see that the installer tries to build the ntp
package because the ntp-service-type is now included.

The following patch fixes the "gui-installed-os" test by making sure
that the ntp package is available in the installation environment. I did
not check for the other installation tests.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks,

Mathieu
