That's not optimal. Those messages mean that of the store directories
linked to from your profile, more than one provide a given path.

For example, GNU Parallel and moreutils both have a path "bin/parallel":
/gnu/store/7ggbvsql79s5i05a3v8cbn48kdrzf7nc-parallel-20151222/bin/parallel
/gnu/store/ax4ppgzmx5cjqr813l3djgzhiniam1yz-moreutils-0.57/bin/parallel

If you install both in your profile, those two paths both become:
~/.guix-profile/bin/parallel

And so you get a warning and the conflict is resolved arbitrarily. You
can't have both of the "parallels" in your profile at once.

Were the conflicting paths related to Guix?
