Hi All,

I am attempting --and failing! -- to update `texlive-scheme-full` on AArch64 
(specifically Asahi Linux). The same issue arises when I try to install `mu`.  
During the install, guix attempts to build `inkscape` from source and that 
build fails. 

I'm wondering whether this is something I can fix myself, or whether I should 
just wait for an update (or even file a bug report)?

Specifically: 

- the failure happens on the very last test during the testing phase of 
inkscape. (As far as I can tell, the compilation phase succeeds.)

- I have tried `guix build texlive-scheme-full --without-tests=inkscape` and 
that did NOT stop the tests being built, so also failed.

- I have also tried installing inkscape directly. A substitute is available and 
that install succeeds. But that does not stop an install of texlive-scheme-full 
or mu attempting to build inkscape from source. 

Many thanks for any advice!

James Geddes
