Hi,

When I get conflicts in propagated imports, I must follow a mechanical
multi-step process to resolve them manually.

A recent example: I wanted to install guile-gi. In the first step I was
told to also update python-pycairo, and in the next steps I had to add,
one by one,


dbus-glib cairo guile-charting libsoup poppler pango

And now I gave up. I’m now here and out of time:

LANG=C guix package -i guile-gi python-pycairo dbus-glib cairo guile-charting libsoup poppler pango
The following packages will be upgraded:
   python-pycairo (dependencies or package changed)
   dbus-glib      (dependencies or package changed)
   cairo          (dependencies or package changed)
   guile-charting (dependencies or package changed)
   libsoup        (dependencies or package changed)
   poppler        (dependencies or package changed)
   pango          (dependencies or package changed)

The following package will be installed:
   guile-gi 0.3.0

guix package: error: profile contains conflicting entries for glib
guix package: error:   first entry: glib@2.62.6 /gnu/store/xr6zfqxklmr7skalljn5i071xmgqxbrm-glib-2.62.6
guix package: error:    ... propagated from cairo@1.16.0
guix package: error:    ... propagated from pango@1.44.7
guix package: error:   second entry: glib@2.62.6 /gnu/store/q4100sjqcsdi6b232ndr93vxfzv9bzij-glib-2.62.6
guix package: error:    ... propagated from libnotify@0.7.7


This should be automated, so there would be just one step to add all
updates I need.
