Previously we were able to rely on the work of other distributions, but most have moved on to 2019 by now. And the required changes now are more intrusive than previously. The main problem is that LuaTeX upstream has removed the Poppler dependency entirely in favor of a smaller library, so no upstream fixes are available: https://github.com/TeX-Live/texlive-source/commit/aa5363bd0dc180752c7d8eb9d847c2581e453b1a I *believe* this commit should be safe to backport as it predates the 2019 changes in the affected directories, but that requires some work too. It would be much better to update the shebang to 2019. Ricardo, do you think you'll have time for a TeX Live 2019 update in the coming weeks? If not, could you outline the required changes for enterprising Guix contributors? TIA!
