Yes, but that's the package he's trying to install.

The message "package conflicts with existing installed module" means
that the package system has a package that it's trying to install and
it has found a module in conflict, but it doesn't know how to say more
about the provider of the module. In particular, the module is not part
of a package, as far as the package installer can tell.

Jens Axel: Do you have any collection links installed, other than the
ones the package manager installs? You can list all links with `raco
link -l`. It seems unlikely that you'd have extra links, but that's the
only idea I have at the moment.
