Re: "profile contains conflicting entries..." for packages with the same version

2022-06-18 Thread Chris Keschnat via

Just for completeness:

I now realized that the mu package installs mu4e and have disabled 
building mu4e in straight.el (:straight (:type built-in)).


That solves every problem I had.

This is due to me not yet knowing "the guix way" / packaging very 
well, but I also liking to go all-in (meaning I do use guix as my main 
machine).


I wanted to (and have) installed mu4e. The installation with 
straight.el failed so I went into the directory to see what the 
problem was and installed the dependencies that "make test" told me 
were missing.



Thanks

In general I think the solution would be to use multiple profiles[1]
if I had need for multiple versions of the same package?


In *general*, the solution is to upgrade both in the same transaction:

 $ guix install remmina glib

(because installing the latest remmina is equivalent to upgrading it).

However, in this particular case it won't work because remmina does 
seem to propagate a different glib than the ‘glib’ package exported 
to the CLI.


I don't have time to investigate, but it seems related to the :bin 
output, because


 $ guix install remmina glib:bin

works fine.

Maybe, yes.  For a meaningful answer we'll need to know why you're 
installing glib.  Development?  Installing libraries by hand isn't 
something ‘most average users regularly’ do in Guix.



But why does this happen here? The versions seem to be the same.


But the hashes aren't.  Version numbers aren't very relevant in Guix 
(their main practical use is to make the CLI feel familiar), only 
whether the package is identical or not.



I did a "guix pull" and "guix upgrade" before and all packages should
be up to date.


Yes, they would be.  That would often help mitigate this error, but 
sadly not in this case.


Kind regards,
