Hi,

This suggests that the ‘news.scm’ file of your channel is being picked
up and evaluated as if it were a module, which it’s not.

The solution is to rename it to, say, ‘news.txt’, or to move the actual
modules to a sub-directory and specify that in ‘.guix-channel’ (info
"(guix) Channels").

HTH!

Ludo’.
