Certain characters are not allowed in store item[0] names. This
restriction was inherited verbatim[1] from Nix.
As such there's no bug here, although you could start a separate
discussion about relaxing these restrictions if you like.
So what to do? url-fetch defaults to the URL's basename as file name,
but you can specify a different one. For example:
(source
(method …)
(uri …)
(file-name (string-append name "-" version ".tar.gz"))
(sha256 …))
Kind regards,
