Ha ;-)  Okay I understand.

Yes, Firefox and Icecat have lots of collisions, and they are displayed
even when I install unrelated stuff.  But it's fine, I can definitely
live with it.  Closing it!

Hi,

%harmless-collisions is consistent for Guix packages, but users can also
add their custom packages through GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH.  It would be great
that if such custom packages collide, the warning message can be
removed.

Thanks,
Clément
