Hi again,

Winter <winter <at> winter.cafe> writes:

> In addition to those, I wonder why `guix build` shows that the cyclic package can't be found, rather than throwing an error as `guix import` does. Maybe it's worth fixing that, if possible, to not cause (worse) confusion?

This is because you should be trying to build
`go-github-com-robfig-cron <at> 1.2`, not `go-github-com-robfig-cron-1.2`!

`guix build` takes specifications, not Guile variable names.

Best,
