I can confirm this in trixie.

Building in unstable works.

From what I can tell:

r-cran-svglite is broken on armhf; it tries to use the symbol
R_getVar. R_getVar was introduced in r-base 4.5.0-1. However trixie
does not have r-base 4.5 yet.

You might now ask how this situation can arise. My guess is:
r-cran-svglite was binNMUed on armhf, after r-base 4.5.0-1 was
uploaded to unstable. r-cran-svglite picks up the new symbol via
r-cran-cpp11, which itself is arch:all - it providers headers
r-cran-svglite uses to build.

The entire (build-)dependency chain seems unsound. Something should
generate accurate versioned dependencies, so a binary from
r-cran-svglite built with r-base 4.5.0-1 cannot be combined with
r-base 4.4.

CC-ing release for awareness of this, IMO wider, problem.

Reassigning the bug to r-cran-svglite, as that uses the
non-available symbol.

Just to be clear: this is NOT a 32bit-specific problem.
