bug#45656: The TeX Live importer crashes with Wrong type (expecting string): #f

[Maxim Cournoyer]

Hello,

The TeX Live importer doesn't appear to be functional:

$ guix import texlive lh
following redirection to `https://ctan.org/xml/1.2/pkg/lh'...
command "svn" "export" "--non-interactive" "--trust-server-cert" "-r" "51265" 
"svn://www.tug.org/texlive/tags/texlive-2019.3/Master/texmf-dist/source/latex/lh"
 "/tmp/guix-directory.vfSCcU/svn" failed with signal 11

The same happens with other packages, such as 'ec'.

Thanks,
