I cannot run 'guix package -i address@hidden -u' because then it tries to install both address@hidden and address@hidden, which conflicts.I can workaround this using 'guix package -u; guix package -i address@hidden'. That isn't ideal (wasteful downloading of substitute, extra entries in the generations list, etc), but is workable for me, making this a low priority bug for me.Ideally, I would expect that because I specified address@hidden first, guix should not try to install address@hidden However, this difficult because IIUC the packages which were specified to be included are not stored anywhere, and I suppose it would entail changes to the manifest format also. So, how to handle this?Thanks, ben

Rename our Python 2.x package “python2”. That was done long ago, so I’m closing this bug. Ludo’.
