Each time you have '(use-package foo :ensure t)' and '(specifications->manifest (list "emacs-foo"))' then it is conflicting. Please re-read this message [1]. The option in your init.el loading that code is ':ensure t'. See: "The :ensure keyword causes the package(s) to be installed automatically if not already present on your system:"; from the 'use-package' documentation [2].
