Hi simon,

This doesn’t work for me, of course.

This

   guix time-machine --commit=67a204920285adaf5603da1bc5cc13726cbef191 -- help

works.

One commit later

   guix time-machine --commit=08f2a06d261ad7a91b3f4df83a5093b8a28f15ed -- help

fails.

The commit is “gnu: Add guile-dns.” Kind of makes sense that it is
guile-related.
