Can't handle different package with the same repo name ?

[xuchunyang]

I have web-server installed a long time ago,

• https://github.com/eschulte/emacs-web-server
• ~/.emacs.d/straight/repos/emacs-web-server

today I install ein and use it, I get

Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, simple-httpd

straight.el thinks simple-httpd is installed but it is not. I seems it is because both web-server and simple-httpd are using the same repo name: emacs-web-server

• https://github.com/eschulte/emacs-web-server (web-server)
• https://github.com/skeeto/emacs-web-server (simple-httpd)

Yes, you have to rename one of the local repositories. E.g. use the recipe

(simple-httpd :type git :host github :repo "skeeto/emacs-web-server" :local-repo "simple-httpd")

There's not really anything that can be done on the straight.el side, except to emit a warning when two automatically generated local repository names happen to be the same (since it's probably not intentional).

want to add that I found two other packages with the same conflict; dracula-theme and challenger-deep-theme.

I encountered exact same problem as OP today. took me a while to figure out that this was what was going on. finally can use https://github.com/ancane/markdown-preview-mode
(requires web-server)

Migrated to #500.
