[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

I'm getting an error trying the example here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Inferiors.html

```
(use-modules (guix inferior) (guix channels)
             (srfi srfi-1))   ;for 'first'

(define channels
  ;; This is the old revision from which we want to
  ;; extract guile-json.
  (list (channel
         (name 'guix)
         (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git")
         (commit
          "65956ad3526ba09e1f7a40722c96c6ef7c0936fe"))))

(define inferior
  ;; An inferior representing the above revision.
  (inferior-for-channels channels))

;; Now create a manifest with the current "guile" package
;; and the old "guile-json" package.
(packages->manifest
 (list (first (lookup-inferior-packages inferior "guile-json"))
       (specification->package "guile")))
```

I'm running guix on ubuntu 18.04.2.

I noticed bug 34402 was similar - I think I'm at the latest version of guix
today.
