When an operating-system contains multiple users or groups with the same
name, instantiating it with `guix system` does not cause a validation
failure, nor are the duplicate entries filtered from the resulting /etc
files.

This duplication can happen in a few different ways:

- both entries are manually included in the "users" or "groups" fields of
the operating-system
- a manually-specified entry collides with an entry defined by a service
(via an account-service-type extension)
- multiple services define entries that collide with each other

Steps to reproduce: call "guix system container" with the attached
operating-system definition.

Hi Leo,

I agree that this is a good idea.

Please use (ice-9 match) instead of car and cdr.

Something among these lines would be more transparent:

(define (find-duplicates list accessor)
(match list
(() '())
((head . tail)
(if (member head tail accessor) ; (srfi srfi-1) member
(cons head (find-duplicates tail accessor))
(find-duplicates tail accessor)))))

(find-duplicates users
(lambda (a b)
(string=? (user-account-name a)
(user-account-name b)))

(I think one could also use srfi-1 delete-duplicates and then compare the
lengths. Then the entire thing is a one-liner--the only complication is
to find the duplicates again after doing it (for the error message))

This should be:

…)

I’m surprised '() works as a pattern.

Note that this is quadratic; it’s fine as long as we don’t have “too
many” users, which may be the case in general.

‘for-each’ looks awkward since we’ll stop on the first one. How about
something like:

(define (assert-unique-account-names users)
(match (find-duplicates things …)
(() #t)
(lst
(raise (formatted-message (G_ "the following accounts appear more than once:~{ ~a~}~%"
lst))))))

?

Thanks!

I think it's because matching literals works, but you're right.

It is indeed quadratic, but would there even be an n log n solution?
I've once done an n log n sort+delete-duplicates!, perhaps that'd be a
nicer solution here?

That'd be weird for duplicate duplicates, hence just reporting the
first. Of course we could always count occurrences by allocating a
local hash table and then do some fancy hash-map->list conversion. If
we do use hash-tables, perhaps this could even be a linear algorithm?

Leo

You could first build a hash table or vhash or set with all the names,
then traverse again the list of names and check whether they’re in that
table. That’d be linear (assuming the table is well balanced), but the
constant factor would be higher.

You could do (delete-duplicates lst) in the message above?

Yeah, I think the hash table solution would make the most sense here.
Since VHashes are based on VLists, they're not actually purely
functional, are they?

Sure, but that'd be O(n^2) on top of O(n^2), which is less than ideal.
I think I'll try working on a hash-based implementation for now.

Their implementation is not “purely functional” but it’s
inconsequential; it’s a persistent data structure, and that’s what
matters (info "(guile) VLists").

Yes, but it’s a small ‘n’, typically one or two.

You can move ‘table’ out of the ‘loop’ arguments since it’s mutated
anyway.

OK with these changes!
