Thank you both. Tobias was correct about the #:use-module point. I had copied the example from the manual, which does use #:use-module, but had replaced it with use-modules. Replacing use-modules with multiple #:use-modules statements solves the "expected keyword arg" error, but unfortunately guix build still reports: ~ $ guix build -L ~/src/my-channel my-packages/zasm guix build: error: my-packages/zasm: unknown package As an aside, my reasoning for replacing "#:use-module" was that when writing my home config I noticed the example that is provided in your home directory uses "#:use-module", but "guix home import" produces a file that uses "use-modules". I assumed you could replace the former with the latter. If you have any pointers as to the difference, I'd appreciate it.
