You have $~#$ but you should have #~#$ instead. But this is the same as
just having `(shell dash)` which causes the next error:

`dash` is a package object which is "lowered" and becomes a string of
the path to the directory:
`/gnu/store/bqmib4vf9mr8dkqx4dqpcqrnb93giwci-dash-0.5.10.2`
`(shell ...)` needs a path to an executable (the shell program), that
is: `/gnu/store/bqmib4vf9mr8dkqx4dqpcqrnb93giwci-dash-0.5.10.2/bin/dash`
Therefore you need the string-append or file-append expressions to add
the final "/bin/dash". See the examples from my previous email.
