Hi Tobias,

It is not the “same” package.  So it appears to me expected they appear
twice.  I mean, one is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-public newsboat
  (package
    (name "newsboat")
    (version "2.22.1")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and the other

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-public newsboat-2.13
  (package
    (inherit newsboat)
    (version "2.13")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

therefore I do not see where the bug is.  Could you explain more?


Thanks,
simon
