bug#47537: specification->package does not seem to support outputs

Hello,

An example of this behavior in a guile repl is:

(use-modules (gnu packages))
(specification->package "qemu") ; works
(specification->package "qemu:doc") ; errors and closes the repl

(specification->package+output "qemu:doc") ; works as expected

Thank you!

Given its docstring, that's to be expected:

    Return a package matching SPEC.  SPEC may be a package name, or a
    package name followed by an at-sign and a version number.  If the 
    version number is not present, return the preferred newest version.

In other words, use specification->package+output ;)

Hello,

I ended up testing my config file with nfs4 and that part did work fine. I had earlier errors unrelated to this that threw me off thinking that would not work.

To clarify then, the issue here only seems to be with the mount function in the (guix build syscalls) module. This results in a "NO route to host" error even though mount.nfs works fine on the command line.

However perhaps I am assuming that mount.nfs does not make use of nfs4 behind the scenes, even without nfs-utils installed, when it does.

Thank you!
