I= f you follow the hint, you end up wasting a lot of time when you get into t= hat loop of "hint: Try upgrading both `PACKAGE_I_WANT_TO_INSTALL' and `SOME= _PACKAGE_IN_THE_PROFILE', or remove one of them from the profile." I always forget that the solution is to upgrade all packages in the profile= . So maybe the hint should suggest that instead? So it seems I always get into this problem because I use "guix install PACK= AGE" and also "guix upgrade SINGLE_PACKAGE", as I don't always have the tim= e to upgrade the whole profile (which contains almost 100 packages, some of= which may have no substitutes and may also have a failing phase, which can= result in more wasted time). I'll need to build the habit of using the declarative approach instead to m= odify my profile, as Mark Weaver suggests in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/37= 940 (which, by the way, seems like a duplicate of this issue). > Also, Arne, it seems to me that Guix alone cannot decide how to solve tha= t conflict; it=E2=80=99s up to the user. That's understandable but unsatisfying :)
