That depends. If you installed "util-linux" into your profile and also
"rename" into your profile, you should have gotten a collision warning.
(If we ever get these cleaned up then we should make the remaining ones
collision errors)
I've just tried it with guix master, I get no collision warning. I think
that's a real bug.
(Didn't those work in the past? *scratches head*)
