$ guix import hackage cassava
=E2=80=A6
Syntax error: unexpected token : { (at line 8, column 0)
Syntax error: unexpected end of input
guix import: error: failed to download cabal file for package =
=E2=80=98cassava=E2=80=99

The same happens with stackage import.

The reason seems to be unusal syntax in the description field, grouped =
by {}:


Description: {

@cassava@ is a library for parsing and encoding [RFC =
4180](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180)
=E2=80=A6
