Hello,

The gcc-mesboot <at> 4.9.4 package has the same ‘gcc-mesboot1’ input twice:

I noticed it while trying to address
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/38100>: it prevents the simple solution of
using (delete-duplicates input-drvs) in ‘bag->derivation’.  (Apart from
that this issue is harmless, but I think we’d better be strict about
this sort of things deep down in the graph.)

Fixed in 18fa433bf5c420868562b9f4b017c5c97251a44b on ‘core-updates’.

There are other similar situations that prevent this solution on
‘master’ anyway.

In particular, any package that has the same dependency both in ‘inputs’
and in ‘native-inputs’ ends up with duplicates in ‘%build-inputs’.  This
is the case, for example, of ‘help2man’, where Perl is both in
‘native-inputs’ and in ‘inputs’.
