[PATCH] In the Artanis package the propagated input of guile-json is conflicting with guix, and no series of guix upgrades or guix installs seems to fix this. Therefore, I moved guile-json from a propagated input to an input, which solves the issue, but may not be ideal for people who don't wish to keep multiple copies of guile-json

Thanks for the report... can you share the warnings or error messages
that you are seeing?

It's likely that guile-json is propagated for a good reason, and that
not propagating it would cause problems for artanis users. Maybe there
is another way to solve the problem that you're experiencing.

I think the problem Blake describes is this:

Toggle snippet (13 lines)
$ guix install artanis guix -p /tmp/test
La jenaj pakoj estos instalataj:
artanis 0.5
guix 1.3.0-11.014f1b6

guix install: error: profile contains conflicting entries for guile-json
guix install: error: first entry: guile-json@4.5.2 /gnu/store/lxbvzmdcv82ik37z4np3c45p11iic7qx-guile-json-4.5.2
guix install: error: ... propagated from guix@1.3.0-11.014f1b6
guix install: error: second entry: guile-json@3.5.0 /gnu/store/6s765nvcy77cla92wxzwhakglzlpv362-guile-json-3.5.0
guix install: error: ... propagated from artanis@0.5
hint: Try upgrading both `guix' and `artanis', or remove one of them from the profile.

Removing Guix from that profile solves the problem:

Toggle snippet (12 lines)
$ guix install artanis -p /tmp/test
La jena pako estos instalata:
artanis 0.5

La jena deriva?o estos konstruata:
/gnu/store/jgd870rpvgxjqnlbsnlqya0libg1107v-profile.drv

building profile with 1 package...

Yeah, though it seems that the ‘wrap-art’ phase already does the right
thing.

Blake, could you confirm that Artanis is still usable after this change,
even when guile-json is not around in GUILE_LOAD_PATH?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
