bug#36925: guix pack -R or -RR will not produce outputs other than 'out'

[Jesse Gibbons]

This happens with all the packages I have tried. For example,
`guix pack --dry-run -R ghc:doc` fails with the message:

$ guix pack --dry-run -R ghc:doc
guix pack: error: reference to invalid output 'doc' of derivation
'/gnu/store/a0blj0d79mzgvb4fk8fkai51xjf68s7z-ghc-8.4.3R.drv'

I get similar results if I change -R to -RR:

$ guix pack --dry-run -RR ghc:doc
guix pack: error: reference to invalid output 'doc' of derivation
'/gnu/store/905g4g323i8ngdfnmqdgdm89z66ikj07-ghc-8.4.3R.drv'

However, if I leave out the -R or -RR flag, it succeeds:

$ guix pack --dry-run ghc:doc

   /gnu/store/f4xcbmbzzq32g8ywy8z96pyr89qni1g6-ca-certificate-
bundle.drv

The --dry-run flag is not necessary to replicate this bug. I included
it to keep success output short and (hopefully) help narrow down when
the bug happens.

Hello,

Fixed in b908fcd8c02c26b1e6cdc636b63306a01a21b994, thanks!

Though note that there’s not much to relocate in ghc:doc since there are
no executables.  :-)
