python-pbr-minimal is a "private" package variable, not exported, and
thus not typically available to the command-line tools.

It's the difference between (define-public python-pbr-minimal) and
(define python-pbr-minimal).

yes. I just overlooked the missing "-public" part on the define :-/

I apologize
 

You can still pass it as a Scheme _expression_ to some commands:

guix build --_expression_='(@@ (gnu packages python ) python-pbr-minimal)'

However, `guix lint` doesn't honor --_expression_.

Good to know

Thanks
