+The current crate is indistinguishable from one of its dependencies, in terms
+of metadata.
+
+Example of erroneous code:
+
+`a.rs`
+```ignore (cannot-link-with-other-tests)
+#![crate_name = "a"]
+#![crate_type = "lib"]
+
+pub fn foo() {}
+```
+
+`b.rs`
+```ignore (cannot-link-with-other-tests)
+#![crate_name = "a"]
+#![crate_type = "lib"]
+
+// error: the current crate is indistinguishable from one of its dependencies:
+//        it has the same crate-name `a` and was compiled with the same
+//        `-C metadata` arguments. This will result in symbol conflicts between
+//        the two.
+extern crate a;
+
+pub fn foo() {}
+
+fn bar() {
+    a::foo(); // is this calling the local crate or the dependency?
+}
+```
+
+The above example compiles two crates with exactly the same name and
+`crate_type` (plus any other metadata). This causes an error because it becomes
+impossible for the compiler to distinguish between symbols (`pub` item names).
+
+This error can be fixed by:
+ * Using [Cargo](../cargo/index.html), the Rust package manager, automatically
+   fixing this issue.
+ * Recompiling the crate with different metadata (different name/
+   `crate_type`).
