I'm using a latex "theme" called moderncv

In `moderncv.cls` it states a dependency on l3regex:
```
\RequirePackage{l3regex}
```

But I couldn't find any texlive package providing `l3regex.sty`.
According to https://www.ctan.org/pkg/l3regexit should be included in
`texlive-latex-l3kernel`.

But something is wrong with the build:
```
find $(guix build --source texlive-latex-l3kernel) -name "*regex*"
/gnu/store/46sm302ggnmk5hcr08psiazj24svpp5d-texlive-latex-l3kernel-51265-checkout/l3regex.dtx

find $(guix build texlive-latex-l3kernel) -name "*regex*"
[no result].
```

Thanks for the report. Yes, the “texlive-latex-l3kernel” package is
incomplete. Most of the packages whose names follow the
“texlive-{latex,tex,generic}-*” pattern are incomplete because they
predate the introduction of “texlive-origin” (and more importantly
“svn-multi-fetch”).

For all of these packages we need to write replacements that include all
source files as listed in $(guix build texlive-bin)/share/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb

Oke, I understand. So do we have examples of completely working texlive
packages where I can have a look and try to do the same for l3kernel?

Yes. Examples include “texlive-charter” (to replace
“texlive-fonts-charter”), “texlive-xypic” (to replace
“texlive-fonts-xypic” and “texlive-generic-xypic”), “texlive-xcolor”
(replacing “texlive-latex-xcolor”), etc.

Search for deprecated-package in tex.scm and you should find more
examples.

I'm closing this issue, which has been fixed a long time ago. In
particular

find $(guix build --source texlive-l3kernel) -name "*regex*"

returns the expected file name.
