1) I noticed that the following link (diff below) to "Package Reference" looks to have changed to lowercase "package Reference" but not updated (there is a working link closely following). Then I scanned the page and found additional broken links:

2) The link at the end of "Go ahead, run guix install sicp and start reading with info sicp (see Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs)" is an internal reference but does not appear in the cookbook?

3) The language links (I see "This manual is also available in French (see Livre de recettes de GNU Guix) and German (see GNU-Guix-Kochbuch)" from English) are broken and need the digraph to precede the ".html" path suffix (but not for 'en'!).
