Hi!

I've just discovered that when you inherit a package from another one, it does not inherit the parent's name.

In the [[https://guix.gnu.org/cookbook/en/html_node/Inheritance.html][guix cookbook]] however. it says:

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
All unspecified fields are inherited from the parent package.
#+END_QUOTE

But obviously this is not the case, as you get a compile error from guile when you omit the name from a derived package.

So either this is a bug in the package-libraries or a bug in the cookbook.

Any opinions on that?

Cheers
