It's "obvious", why should it need be suggested? Jokes aside, I'll
see what I can do about documentation when I get back from travel.
And even if list-load-path-shadows listed the shadowed packages, it
still would have been hard to figure out how the duplicated
packages got there, since it happens long before my init.el is
loaded.
Sure, but that's the price of using free software. Anybody, perhaps
even *you* (oh, heavens, no!) could have put it there.
Jokes aside, if you have a suggestion about how to avoid this (besides
running list-load-path-shadows on every startup which I'll think about
but my first take is "obviously too expensive") I'd like to hear is.
Remember, at best we have a guess about stuff under $prefix, but
AFAICT you don't have dupes under $prefix, and we somehow were unable
(despite trying) to determine that $overthere == $prefix, which we can
try to do better, but cannot promise to succeed.
