Wait my proposal cannot work as-is because linux-architecture=#false
for Hurd platforms ...
FWIW, I think the current usual behaviour is not ideal, and that these
kind of procedures should raise an exception instead, like
specification->package:
scheme@(guix-user)> (specification->package "foobar")
guix repl: fout: foobar: onbekend pakket ; <-- unknown package
Or search-input-file or search-input-directory.
Maybe it could raise a &non-linux-platform condition like
search-input-file raises &search-error condition?
Greetings,
Maxime.
