I am trying to install a previous version of a package but I am getting errors.
In this case the current version of openvpn is 2.5.1 and I would like to install the 2.4.9 version. openvpn version 2.4.9 was packaged for Guix. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/gnu/packages/vpn.scm?id=c5a2b70135c9830e9c3051ddf4a096f9a80eb952 My preference is to use a configuration file to install this previous version of `openvpn`. When I add openvpn@2.4.9 as a package to my system configuration and run `sudo guix system reconfigure config.scm` it outputs "error: openvpn@2.4.9: unbound variable hint: Did you forget a `use-modelue' form?". `guix package --install=openvpn@2.4.9` outputs "guix package: error: openvpn: package not found for version 2.4.9". Adapting the example in the Inferiors section of the manual I tried running `guix package --manifest=openvpn-2-4-9.scm`. The contents of openvpn-2-4-9.scm are: ``` (use-modules (guix inferior) (guix channels) (srfi srfi-1)) (define channels (append (list (channel (name 'openvpn) (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git";) (commit "c5a2b70135c9830e9c3051ddf4a096f9a80eb952"))) %default-channels)) (define inferior (inferior-for-channels channels)) (packages->manifest (list (first (lookup-inferior-packages inferior "openvpn"))) ``` The output error message I recieve is: ``` Updating channel 'openvpn' from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...
