I wanted to use an environment file that contains a package
definition, and use it with inferiors. Here is the full guix.scm:

Toggle snippet (71 lines)
(use-modules
(guix channels)
(guix inferior)
(guix build-system gnu)

(guix licenses)
(gnu packages)
(ice-9 match))

(define channels

(define (lookup-inferior name)
(define inferior
(inferior-for-channels channels))
(match (lookup-inferior-packages inferior name)
((first . rest) first)
(_ (error
(format #false "Could not find package `~a'.~%" name)))))

(define (p name)
(let* ((how (if (getenv "USE_GUIX_INFERIOR")
lookup-inferior lookup))
(pkg (how name)))
`(,name ,pkg)))

(define %version
(symbol->string (with-input-from-file "VERSION" read)))

my-package

The idea was that you would use the provided channels with

USE_GUIX_INFERIOR=t guix environment -l guix.scm

Unfortunately, this does not work, but there also is no error. I
end up in an environment where none of the declared inputs are
available. That’s because (guix scripts environments) has no
facilities to deal with packages that are of type
<inferior-package>.

Unfortunatly the environment file isn't self contained (VERSION and the
package source are missing), so I couldn't reproduce your issue.

I wanted to reproduce it since I think it may be a duplicate of #40272¹,
that is you can't build packages with inputs containing inferior-packages.


Cheers,
