How about the attached patch?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix lint -c archival ruby-sorbet-runtime racket
gnu/packages/ruby.scm:14081:12: ruby-sorbet-runtime@0.5.10610.20230106174520-1fa668010: source is not an origin, it cannot be archived
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

(The version string of this package looks way too long.)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
