Duplicated sentence in 7.1 - Packages and Crates

[fmbarina]

• I have searched open and closed issues and pull requests for duplicates, using these search terms:
  • 7.1
  • A crate can come in one of two forms: a binary crate or a library crate.
• I have checked the latest main branch to see if this has already been fixed, in this file:
  • src/ch07-01-packages-and-crates.md

URL to the section(s) of the book with this problem:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/ch07-01-packages-and-crates.html

Description of the problem:

A few months back, some print changes were backported in 98165c4. I'm unsure if it was on purpose or not, so feel free to close this issue if that's the case, but this resulted in one specific sentence being duplicated/repeated very close to the original.

3rd paragraph:

A crate can come in one of two forms: a binary crate or a library crate. Binary crates are programs you can compile to an executable ...

7th paragraph

A crate can come in one of two forms: a binary crate or a library crate. A package can contain as many binary crates as you like, but at most only one library crate ...

Reading the same sentence again so quickly feels jarring. I actually thought I was on the wrong paragraph for a moment.

Suggested fix:
Remove or rephrase one of these sentences. Maybe the latter?

If this is indeed a mistake and the fix is as simple as removing it, may I open a PR?

Yep, looks like an error in the back-porting of changes! The trick here is that we need to make sure not merely to fix it but to actually match the change from the back port from print! @carols10cents, I’ll defer to you on that one for now, or I can pick it up when I have more time in a couple weeks.

😂 This is actually a problem in print 🤦🏻‍♀️
