bug#30299: [core-updates] shepherd fails tests on all systems except x86_64

Hello,

This is a non-deterministic failure.  I could reproduce the
tests/basic.sh one and it is fixed by this:

  
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/shepherd.git/commit/?id=cc9564586729a5bb90dd5d2722b543fdde9ab821

I’ll roll a new Shepherd release soon and update the package.

The rest may be a duplicate of 23811, though I couldn’t reproduce it.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
