2.14.3
It appears to build reproducibly (at least on my system). And I have
checked it with `guix lint'. It passes all tests except `guix lint -c
source' which does not report an error but strangely crashes with the
following output:
~$ guix lint -c source escpr
Backtrace:scpr@1.6.17 [source]...

I have not yet found an alternative source. But the current one works
(except for the `guix lint' error). I will try to send a patch as soon
as the URI changes or the source is made available on this Debian
repository:
