How do others install a specific previous version of a package using
their system configuration and the `guix system reconfigure config.scm`
command?
I have been able to get a previous version of a package installed in
this case the 2.4.9 version of openvpn.
The command I used was:
`guix package --install-from-file=openvpn-2-4-9.scm`
The contents of `openvpn-2-4-9.scm` is below. It is based on the
openvpn part of `guix/gnu/packages/vpn.scm` at the git commit that
defined version 2.4.9 of openvpn.
