Hello again,

Unfortunately, it’s not the end of the story:

$ curl -o foreign_0.8-75.tar.gz https://cran.microsoft.com/snapshot/2020-01-27/src/contrib/foreign_0.8-75.tar.gz
$ guix time-machine --commit=d81fb2ae9443994ae5dd1cb5837276fad63f842c --channels=channel-specs.scm -- \

As you can see, there’s “-75” rather than “0.8-75” in the paths. Am I
doing something wrong or, perhaps, is this a Guix bug?
