Guix,

The package list at <https://guix.gnu.org/packages/S/page/4/> 
displays the wrong versions for sqlite:

 sqlite 3.26.0
 sqlite 3.26.0
 sqlite-with-column-metadata 3.26.0

Which should be:

 $ guix pull && guix package -A ^sqlite
 sqlite	3.26.0	…
 sqlite	3.24.0	…
 sqlite-with-column-metadata	3.24.0	…

At first glance it looks like the Web list iterates over package 
names instead of package records, then looks up the ‘default’ 
package for each name  …  but packages like ‘gcc-objc’[0] are 
listed correctly, so maybe that's not what's happening.

Noticed by sebboh on #guix.

Kind regards,

T G-R

It looks like the duplicates happen to replaced packages:
https://guix.gnu.org/packages/G/page/9/
(see gnutls, as sqlite is one package now)

Narrowed it down to the code that generates the packages list 
for the website in the guix-artwork repo.

It looks like the original intent was to filter out replaced packages,
instead of keeping them in the list (which is what guix search does).
This will affect https://guix.gnu.org/packages.json which I believe feeds
guix package information in repology.

Attached is a patch to filter out the replaced packages.
If it is more appropriate for the website to be consistent with 
guix search and keep replaced packages in the list, 
I can submit an updated patch.

Applied, thanks!

I think duplicates come from replacements that are also public (and thus
traversed by ‘fold-packages’), which is not necessarily the case, but
it’s good to do it this way.
