Hi!
I observe the following weird behavior, where the first invocation
wrongfully expands ‘-D gnutls’ into a list of package specs, whereas the
other invocations (only slightly different) lead to calls to
‘package->development-manifest’ as expected:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix shell -D gnutls autoconf@2.69 automake libtool --export-manifest
;; What follows is a "manifest" equivalent to the command line you gave.
;; You can store it in a file that you may then pass to any 'guix' command
;; that accepts a '--manifest' (or '-m') option.
