Previously, Guix would have proceeded with the installation; you=E2=80=99d = get many warning lines just before it completes, but that=E2=80=99s it. The problem is that it=E2=80=99s a situation where failing is safer: if we = let it proceed, the profile would have to arbitrarily choose between the files coming from one =E2=80=98r-mass=E2=80=99 variant and those coming fro= m the other one. The fix is to arrange to have only one =E2=80=98r-mass=E2=80=99 in your pro= file. Here the message tells you that one of them is propagated by =E2=80=98r=E2=80=99= and the second one by =E2=80=98r-caret=E2=80=99, so you have to get these two in sy= nc, presumably by adding =E2=80=98r=E2=80=99 to your =E2=80=9Cguix package -i= =E2=80=9D command line (I=E2=80=99m not familiar with R, maybe Ricardo can comment on this.) Does that make sense? To avoid these problems, you might also want to use a manifest with =E2=80=9Cguix package -m=E2=80=9D. I hope this clarifies things. Thanks for your feedback, Ludo=E2=80=99.
