I don’t think so; the error message that was reported is:

  command "svn" "export" "--non-interactive" "--trust-server-cert" "-r" "59745" 
"svn://www.tug.org/texlive/tags/texlive-2021.3/Master/texmf-dist/doc/latex/cite/"
 "/tmp/guix-directory.09UnsN/doc/latex/cite/" failed with signal 11

It’s a message from ‘report-invoke-error’ in (guix build utils).  It’s
really svn that’s segfaulting.

Should we close and reopen if/when we have more info?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
