 The result from trying {{{chicken-install not-an-egg}}} is:

 {{{

 Error: unrecognized file-information - possibly corrupt transmission:
 "(error \"no such extension or version\" \"not-an-egg\" #f)"

 }}}

 Clearly the error that should be signalled is the one given in the string
 and not that of unrecognized file-information.
