Subject: bug#23874: duplicates in manifests are “installed” more than once
Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 15:59:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <idjy45mvkuq.fsf@bimsb-sys02.mdc-berlin.net> (raw)

When there are duplicate references to package variables in a manifest,
the same package will appear to be installed into the same profile
multiple times.

Here’s a manitest:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(use-package-modules admin)

;; so stressed!
(packages->manifest
 (list stress stress stress))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And here I’m instantiating it:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
guix package -p /tmp/test --manifest=manitest
installing new manifest from 'manitest' with 3 entries
substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org'... 100.0%
substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org'... 100.0%

rwurmus in guix:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No conflicts are reported, so no harm is done, but seemingly having the
very same package more than once in a profile might be confusing.

Should Guix issue a warning when the same variable is referenced more
than once (I don’t like this because there really is no problem), or
should Guix delete duplicates from the list before creating a profile
generation?
