Version: 9e4632081ff31bf0d1715edd66f514614c6dc4bb

I'm working to define a package for Zellij, a terminal multiplexer
similar to GNU screen or tmux.

It appears that some of the dependencies aren't within the standard Guix
channel, so I'm doing a recursive import (with `guix import crate zellij
--recursive >> foo.scm`)

Unfortunately, this is failing. Attempting again via
`(crate-recursive-import "zellij" #:version "0.31.1")` in the guix repl
leads to this backtrace:

following redirection to
ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception:
In procedure struct-vtable: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting
struct): #f

Entering a new prompt.  Type `,bt' for a backtrace or `,q' to continue.
scheme@(guix-user) [1]> ,bt
;; lines removed for brevity
In guix/import/crate.scm:
   300:28 17 (crate->guix-package "cranelift-codegen" #:version _ # _ …)
   292:10 16 (sort-map-dependencies _)
In srfi/srfi-1.scm:
   ;;  lines removed for brevity
   586:29  3 (map1 (#<<crate-dependency> id: "hashbrown" kind: no…> …))
   586:17  2 (map1 (#<<crate-dependency> id: "peepmatic" kind: no…> …))
In guix/import/crate.scm:
   283:18  1 (dependency-name+version _)
In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
  1685:16  0 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _)

It appears that the crate importer is failing when attempting to get a
package that doesn't exist. In this case, it's "peepmatic", version
0.68.0.  On crates.io, the peepmatic@0.68.0 returns a 404.

I'd like if the crate importer for guix should more cleanly handle this,
or concisely describe the issue.


Thanks,
