Incorrect argument handling in "guix shell"

The following session illustrates that the -D option to "guix shell" is

erroneously applied to *two* package arguments rather than just one if

the first package argument takes the form of a file.

The file "empty-package.scm" is attached, it defines an empty package

with no inputs. The environment defined by the command below should thus

contain only "hello" and "bash", plus the run-time dependencies of

"bash". Instead, it contains the build dependencies of "hello".

$ guix shell --container -D -f empty-package.scm hello

[env]$ cat $GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/manifest

;; This file was automatically generated and is for internal use only.

;; It cannot be passed to the '--manifest' option.

;; Run 'guix package --export-manifest' if you want to export a file

;; suitable for '--manifest'.

Hi Konrad,

Oops, fixed in 71977101218d1fd5d7f5016cbbcb8710be057d49.

Thanks!
