Hi again,

Rereading this a few hours later, I found an error.

It is in fact there!  I made a mistake while grepping.

In the database, there’s “rust-quote-0.6@0.6.12” and
“rust-quote-0.6@0.6.13”.  The SWH archive has version 0.6.13, but not
0.6.12.  Looking back, 0.6.13 was released in July 2019, so maybe 0.6.12
predates “sources.json”?

AFAIK, we have no way of getting 0.6.12 into the SWH archive.  There’s
been some talk of making historical “sources.json” files....  I imagine
this is one of many little things to work out.
