Friends I've just installed WSL2 and built GHC. I get this (single) validation failure in libraries/unix/tests/getGroupEntryForName. It seems to be just an error message wibble, but I can't push a change to master because that'll affect everyone else. Any ideas?

Hmm, this is quite unfortunate. My recollection is that WSL2 by default runs an Ubuntu image, so I'm somewhat surprised that this is failing. Can you paste the output of `uname -a` and `cat /etc/os-release`? Cheers, - Ben
