No, this is not a bug.  specification->package always returns the latest version of a package and has no way of knowing what variable(s) that package object is bound to.

Hi,

If an operating-system’s packages includes `(specification->package

3.98, but %base-packages includes 3.88.1, which causes an error on the
next `guix system reconfigure' due to conflicting package versions in
the profile.

Why does the unversioned stringy selector (specification->package
"nss-certs") resolve to a version different from the unversioned
variable nss-certs? Is that a bug?

Kind regards
Felix

P.S. I hoped to use the word "reified" but did not know how it fit in.
Thanks,
