Subject: Packages count as installed twice
Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2018 20:05:53 +0100

Hello,

trying to upgrade my packages, I notice something curious:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix package -n -u
The following packages would be upgraded:
...
   gnutls	3.5.13 -> 3.5.13	/gnu/store/1ah3fd12w6v66q6yjdmd39xbisqi0gpw-gnutls-3.5.13
   gnutls	3.5.13 -> 3.5.13	/gnu/store/1ah3fd12w6v66q6yjdmd39xbisqi0gpw-gnutls-3.5.13
...

There is twice the exactly same package!

$ ./pre-inst-env guix package -I gnutls
gnutls	3.5.13	out	/gnu/store/g09is0bw144d8zrd059fiarqmjq7vr8a-gnutls-3.5.13
gnutls	3.5.13	out	/gnu/store/g09is0bw144d8zrd059fiarqmjq7vr8a-gnutls-3.5.13

This looks like a bug to me...

Andreas
