thanks for the report. This is due to a problem that prevented building 
the patch index (so yes, the test system), I've fixed it earlier today 
and new results should appear in about a day.

Thanks, I will try this out when the current run finishes, if the LaTeX 
error still appears.

The machine uses the latest MiKTeX (21.8), which crashes e.g. when 
running "texify --version segfaults". I've reported this (and it may 
well be an error that has been reported before - 
https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/921). I will have a look in the 
logs when the new results appear, it may be related.

In principle, you can always write to the CRAN address and your email 
will be forwarded to the right person. Currently I am running these checks.
