Describe the bug
Mistakenly adding build-tool-depends twice, the first without a version range, the second with one (or both with a version range) leads to a build failure.
To Reproduce
Run cabal init creating a test-suite and then add these two lines to the test suite:
build-tool-depends: hspec-discover:hspec-discover
build-tool-depends: hspec-discover:hspec-discover >=2 && <3
$ cabal build all --enable-tests
...
Build profile: -w ghc-9.6.6 -O1
In order, the following will be built (use -v for more details):
- build-tool-depends-twice-0.1.0.0 (test:build-tool-depends-twice-test) (configuration changed)
Configuring test suite 'build-tool-depends-twice-test' for build-tool-depends-twice-0.1.0.0...
Error: [Cabal-1008]
The program 'hspec-discover' version >=2 && <3 is required but the version of
/home/.../.local/state/cabal/store/ghc-9.6.6/hspec-discover-2.11.10-e-hspec-discover-46bdc5d621da43233045a4700712e015d472ed9d8d9e8f6ba007136568801492/bin/hspec-discover could not be determined.
Error: [Cabal-7125]
Failed to build test:build-tool-depends-twice-test from build-tool-depends-twice-0.1.0.0. The failure occurred during the configure step.
The same failure occurs with:
build-tool-depends: hspec-discover:hspec-discover >=2 && <3
build-tool-depends: hspec-discover:hspec-discover >=2 && <3
The following repeats build without problem:
build-tool-depends: hspec-discover:hspec-discover >=2 && <3
build-tool-depends: hspec-discover:hspec-discover
build-tool-depends: hspec-discover:hspec-discover
build-tool-depends: hspec-discover:hspec-discover
I see the same failure as well with the example from the docs, if repeated:
build-tool-depends: markdown-unlit:markdown-unlit >= 0.5.0 && < 0.6
build-tool-depends: markdown-unlit:markdown-unlit >= 0.5.0 && < 0.6
Also happens with the latest compiler:
$ cabal build all --enable-tests

Expected behavior
That cabal-install-3.14.1.0 is able to build the test suite or it warns about the repeated build-tool-depends or both.
