Hello,

Jesse Gibbons <jgibbons2357 <at> gmail.com> skribis:

> $ guix pack --dry-run -R ghc:doc

Fixed in b908fcd8c02c26b1e6cdc636b63306a01a21b994, thanks!

Though note that there’s not much to relocate in ghc:doc since there are
no executables.  :-)

This happens with all the packages I have tried. For example,
`guix pack --dry-run -R ghc:doc` fails with the message:

$ guix pack --dry-run -R ghc:doc
guix pack: error: reference to invalid output 'doc' of derivation
'/gnu/store/a0blj0d79mzgvb4fk8fkai51xjf68s7z-ghc-8.4.3R.drv'

I get similar results if I change -R to -RR:

$ guix pack --dry-run -RR ghc:doc
guix pack: error: reference to invalid output 'doc' of derivation
'/gnu/store/905g4g323i8ngdfnmqdgdm89z66ikj07-ghc-8.4.3R.drv'

However, if I leave out the -R or -RR flag, it succeeds:

$ guix pack --dry-run ghc:doc

   /gnu/store/f4xcbmbzzq32g8ywy8z96pyr89qni1g6-ca-certificate-
bundle.drv

The --dry-run flag is not necessary to replicate this bug. I included
it to keep success output short and (hopefully) help narrow down when
the bug happens.
