You mentioned an error report from Guix:

  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

To me that means that an “svn” command was indeed found in $PATH but
that it segfaulted.

What did “type -P svn” return?  Perhaps there was an “svn” command
coming from the host distro, like /usr/bin/svn?

Or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
