I'm getting an error trying the example here:

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Inferiors.html

```

(use-modules (guix inferior) (guix channels)

             (srfi srfi-1))   ;for 'first'

(define channels

  ;; This is the old revision from which we want to

  ;; extract guile-json.

  (list (channel

         (name 'guix)

         (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git")

         (commit

          "65956ad3526ba09e1f7a40722c96c6ef7c0936fe"))))

(define inferior

  ;; An inferior representing the above revision.

  (inferior-for-channels channels))

;; Now create a manifest with the current "guile" package

;; and the old "guile-json" package.

(packages->manifest

 (list (first (lookup-inferior-packages inferior "guile-json"))

       (specification->package "guile")))

```

```

$ guix --version

```

I'm running guix on ubuntu 18.04.2.

I noticed bug 34402 was similar - I think I'm at the latest version of guix today.
