This is a bug. It's caused by https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/2319 + the fact that propagated-inputs do not get grafted when propagated to profiles (see https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/2501 and https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/2527). To workaround on your side, you could use ``` (use-modules (guix packages) (gnu packages mate) (gnu packages gnome)) ((package-input-rewriting `((,libmateweather . ,(package/inherit libmateweather (propagated-inputs (modify-inputs (package-propagated-inputs libmateweather) (replace "libsoup-minimal" libsoup-minimal-2/fixed))))))) mate) ``` as the mate-package field in your mate-desktop-configuration of your mate-desktop-service-type, ie. ``` (service mate-desktop-service-type (mate-desktop-configuration (mate-package ((package-input-rewriting `((,libmateweather . ,(package/inherit libmateweather (propagated-inputs (modify-inputs (package-propagated-inputs libmateweather) (replace "libsoup-minimal" libsoup-minimal-2/fixed))))))) mate)))) ``` This will build something like 10 packages, but afterwards you will not have conflicting entries as the libsoup is replaced with the fixed variant with libxml2@2.14 in propagated inputs. It took less than half an hour for me, with --cores=4 --max-jobs=10. I've also created this issue https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/issues/2533 asking for clarification why this libmateweather is propagated in the first place.
