As experienced by Luks6655, you can't do
(define inferior (inferior-with-channels CHANNELS))
on the top-level of a channel module. I think the issue is that
inferior-with-channels is eager (not lazy), so it cannot be used in a
channel on the top-level, as builds (including channel builds) are
isolated from the network and have limited access to the file system.
If it would be made lazy, then
(define inferior (inferior-with-channels CHANNELS))
(define-public p
(package
[...]
(inputs (list (lookup-inferior-package inferior "hello")))))
should, in theory, work (unverified).
Greetings,
Maxime.

Additionally this fails even when used like this:
(define inferior
(mlambda ()
(inferior-for-channels channels)))
(lookup-inferior-packages (inferior) "somepackage")

This makes it lazy (not eager).

You are running (inferior) directly after defining the lazy thing,
making it effectively _eager_ (not lazy) again.
Instead of doing this on the top-level, move the
lookup-inferior-packages to inside the 'inputs' or 'native-inputs', to
_keep_ it lazy.
Greetings,
Maxime.
