Danny Milosavljevic made me aware of this. So credit goes to him. But yeah, I wondered why I didn't get an error or at least a warning after I had added a second package with the same name as an existing=20 one. Not even lint complained. =20 This made me curious and turned up three similar packages: =20 ruby-arel removed in 6f23e2fb023c921d03be1f3aef0e1f305ae63764 r-codetools removed in fe08b1a75953aa7153442dcffdcfd3a6d8c752a1 r-gtable removed in 9c53993fb279456f032a843f23fa546e90305910 =20 There may be less obvious ones left. =20 I'm guessing there's no easy way to detect such shadowing from within Scheme (and hence the linter), but I'd love to be wrong (and pressured into adding it). =20 Kind regards, =20 T G-R =20 --=20 Avoid eavesdropping.
