Unfortunately, tilde seems to be forbidden in package names.
mhw@tines:~/guix$ ./pre-inst-env guix package -i guile-reader-for-guile~2.0.7
error: build failed: invalid character `~' in name
`guile-reader-for-guile~2.0.7-0.6-guile-builder'
How about using underscore instead? That seems to be allowed.
guile-reader-for-guile_1.8.8
guile-reader-for-guile_2.0.7
