Duplicate package: `the_silver_searcher` and `the-silver-searcher` #10133

Open scw opened 6 years ago

scw commented 6 years ago

Actual Behavior

Two separate entries for ag are listed:

https://anaconda.org/anaconda/the_silver_searcher https://anaconda.org/anaconda/the-silver-searcher

Expected Behavior

A single listing for The Silver Searcher, the duplication makes it confusing to know which one to install (the underscore version looks to be correct -- it has newer packages and is the same name used by other instances of the package (such as conda-forge). I don't know if there's a way to fold these packages into a single one (redirects?), but if possible it'd be nice to only have one entry for these two packages.

repo.anaconda.com is the only authoritative source of packages. The anaconda channel on anaconda.org is a mirror (and a bad one that shouldn't be used, by the way, because it loses the distinction between the newer "main" defaults channel and the older "free" defaults channel.

the_silver_searcher is the only one on:

@msarahan I just linked to the packages as they were listed on anaconda.org, I see both when searching the normal "defaults" channel:

the-silver-searcher          2.0.0                         1  defaults
the_silver_searcher          2.1.0                h20f5147_0  defaults
                             2.2.0                         0  defaults

Yes the defaults channel includes the old free channel but importantly at a lower priority.

Is this duplication causing you some problems?

Yeah, fair enough. I'll reopen since defaults includes both.
