> Hello,

> Currently, when `guix refresh -l` is used, package names are emitted with a

>
> This means the output from guix refresh -l cannot be used to issue guix
> commands.  This patch addresses the issue by adding an optional parameter
> `for-ui` to `package-full-name`, which, when passed, results in package names
> being emitted with the '@' separator.

>   result in significant semantic changes in different places in Guix, where
>   '-' is expected.
>
> * Don't use package-full-name in guix refresh -l's `list-dependents`.  Instead
>   just emit the package name, not the full name, or manually concatenate name
>   '@' version.

> I prefer adding the optional parameter to full-name as `package-full-name` is

‘package-full-name’ is also used to construct store path names, to this
change alone isn't enough.

Closing this bug. Discussion continued at #26264.
