The problem is clearly with the Linenoise module, I'll have to look
into that and see if it's something I can fix.

The path name you see is "an implementation detail" of Zef, I've been
told before. I have no clue how it actually calculates them, and no
idea where to find any documentation on that. That is something I
cannot fix, and as far as I understand, there's no way this will be
changed on the Zef side of things.

I'm not sure what you mean with "-n vs .n for sub-version ids". If this
is causing issues or unclarities while trying to get Rakudo Star
installed, I'll need some additional information in order to see if
this is something I should fix or even can fix.
