It’s expected. It’s not possible to travel so far back. The zero for
time-traveling is the introduction of “inferiors” mechanism around 2019.
Well, since the question is recurrent, I agree that:
1. the manual needs to be improved;
2. the command “guix time-machine” should raise a gentle error when the
specification is unreachable.
