Thank you. However, wouldn't this do the exact opposite to what we want
to achieve?

We want to
- "guix install open-adventure" and get open-adventure 1.8, not 2.5,
- "guix upgrade open-adventure" and have open-adventure 1.8 override
  2.5.

Do you mean this instead?

   (define-public open-adventure-2.5
     (package
       (inherit open-adventure)
       (version "1.8")
       (properties `((superseded . ,open-adventure)))))

Meanwhile, I updated Open adventure to 1.9 in my patch.

Regards,
