My bad, I read that as specifications->manifest. Note that for specifications->package, you could simply specify hello on the command line.
Having tested your file now, I can say that guix shell builds hello as expected, whereas with specifications->manifest, it produces a lovely backtrace (which is more or less what one ought to expect). > And the exact same thing happens if a package is used instead of a > list of packages. One thing to check here is whether a cache might be interfering. I think it is an already known bug, that the file itself is not key in the cache, which you can work around by specifying --rebuild-cache. Cheers
