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...
