The issue is that almost all Guix subcommands process command line arguments from right to left. When mixed «behaviour» argument as ’-D’ and «action» argument as ’--check’, it seems missing a plan to always process using the same order. Unrelated to “guix shell”, it had been discussed for “guix package”, see [2]. 1: <http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/58859> 2: <http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/50473> Cheers, simon
