Calcium,
Thanks for the report!
In future, please submit separate issues separately, it helps keep
discussion, er, separate. It's easier to merge issues than to
split them.
> Can't (specification->package "package@version:output")
Short answer: it is not intended to work. Use
specification->package+output if you want outputs. This is not a
bug but a design decision. Which are not above critique, but
guix-devel@ might be a better place for that.
I've considered in the past to submit a cheeky patch silently
renaming specification->package+ouput to specification->package,
just to avoid this FAQ. It should be almost perfectly backwards
compatible in that no existing code should break with the same
input.
However I think clarity the greater value here, and did not submit
such a patch.

I cannot reproduce this:
$ guix install git@2.34.0:send-email
$ guix remove git@2.34.0:send-email
$
Can you provide an example?
> guix remove package@version doesn't works
‘package@version’ means ‘package@version:out’, not (a
hypothetical) ‘package@version:*’ wildcard. It neither installs
nor removes ‘all outputs’.
I did notice that, e.g.,
$ guix install git@2:send-email
$ guix remove git@2:send-email
guix remove: error: package 'git@2:send-email' not found in
profile
$
is asymmetrical. I wonder if there are any drawbacks to making it
work.
Kind regards,
T G-R
