Hi Guix,
I was trying to figure out if the "repeated" tag inside a profiles
manifest file is reliable to detect duplicate entries in a profile.
While it was working fine for my home and system profile for the normal
.guix-profile it was not:
This is related to https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55499#0 resp.
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=4ff12d1de7cd617b791996ee7ca1240660b4c20e
which marks duplicate entries in a profiles as repeated inside the
profile manifest file.
* Steps to reproduce
To stick with the original example: Instead of adding the r packages all
in one add them one by one
#+begin_example
guix package -p /tmp/wrong -i r-cicero-monocle3
guix package -p /tmp/wrong -i r-monocle3
#+end_example
The resulting manifest file at /tmp/wrong/manifest has the huge tree for
r-monocle3 twice.
So the lookup mechanism in manifest->gexp does not seem to work with the
install mechanism of profiles. I haven't looked more deeply into it yet.
An smaller example is using zlib and glib (which propagates zlib).
* Expected Behaviour
It should not matter whether you install things in multiple transactions
or in one.
Thanks.

I think (maybe part of) the problem is that inside entry->gexp in
manifest->gexp things get compared using (the hash of)
(manifest-entry-item entry) which will be a package object for the new
entries but a store path "/gnu/store/*" for packages already present in
the profile.
Also right afterwards we test if the visited previous-entry is
'manifest-entry=?' to entry again causing a potential problem if one has
a string and one a package as item entry.
Would this be worth fixing?
