Could you point us to article you followed? I couldn’t find it in your

Derivations are not packages. The derivation for “hello” says that it
needs /gnu/store/…-linux-libre-headers-4.4.18.drv, which in turn says
that it needs the derivation to download the linux-libre tarball.
(I’m still traveling, so I cannot check the tarballs right now.)
