Yes, but that’s fine.  However, the example I gave is ridiculous in that
you can’t have address@hidden and guile-next in the same profile since you
can’t have two ‘guile’ programs in the same profile.  What you can do,
though, is have both guile-json and guile2.2-json in the same profile.

This one was fixed by Alex Kost in
ca408580946d5a8be872f3da755112f5559a054d (in core-updates), and I pushed
a similar fix for 2.2 in master.

Hopefully that’ll solve this and similar issues.
