Hi Maintainers,
as I just found 2 of my packages colliding with same program name
$ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/ncgen
hdf4-4.2.15-3
netcdf-4.8.0-2
as one is much older than the other, the installation sequence
can give some inconsistencies in the system.
So I checked on my /etc/setup how many duplicates there are
and it seems also other package has the same problem
Some are not an issue, but on the binaries I can not judge
Yeah, nothing prevents this from happening at the moment.
I did think that calm could do some checking of this (since it needs to
look at the files in a package to generate the data used by the 'search
package contents' web page).
But since we can't know about the contents of packages which might come
from 3rd-party package repos, I think this also needs to be a feature of
setup.
