Hello,

installing a few packages, I get the following output:

...
building profile '/nix/store/ylq6xn1599wfph4n6caw7kdd5wds4x9n-profile' with 65 packages......
51 packages in profile

The difference is, I think, that I consciously installed 51 packages, while
the remaining 14 ones are pulled in as propagated-inputs. Could the output be
made uniform, in either sense?

Andreas

I removed the “wrong” one, and kept the other.

Thanks!
