Attached is a tarball that can be used to minimally reproduce the issue. There are two files - test-home.scm and test-home-packages.scm. The latter defines and exports `%my-packages`, but before it's defined, line 5 has an error.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix home build -L . test-home.scm ice-9/eval.scm:223:20: In procedure proc: error: %my-packages: unbound variable hint: Did you forget `(use-modules (test-home-packages))'? --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I would expect to see a report of the error on line 5, but that doesn't happen. `guix system` behaves the same way. This becomes extremely annoying once you have a large configuration split up between separate files, because if you make a mistake in any file except the one being passed to `guix home` or `guix system`, you don't see the error message for it.
