Greetings,
The following webrev contains fixes for the following issue:
9218 pkg.client.api should check for cross-alias/prefix duplicates
...
Should we do something if this condition is already extant - i.e. when
we read the cfg_cache file?
I thought about it, but the problem with doing startup cfg_cache checks
is that the user then gets stuck and can't use any pkg subcommand to get
unstuck. Of course they could just manually edit the cfg_cache.
If we do something here, it will probably need to be after the coming
release given that we have to minimise string changes as much as
reasonably possible.
I'm open to doing additional sanity checks on startup as long as they
don't significantly add to startup time.
Cheers,
