I am getting a lot of duplicate paths (like all my 800+ pages, see example below) with `hugo printPathWarnings` in the recent versions of Hugo. I have not changed my content files lately. Is there a way to know how or why this is happening? The only changes I did is incorporate Bep’s [Tailwind starter](https://github.com/bep/hugo-starter-tailwind-basic) template.

```auto
WARN 2022/05/10 22:56:55 Duplicate target paths: \index.html (2), \index.xml (2)

```

So you are calling `PostProcess`…

Indeed! So it is a false positive?

Yes.

To be sure, disable PostProcess and test again.

You are right. I was using another implementation of Tailwind before this and these issues did not come up (no PostProcess was used in that implementation). It seems this bug needs some attention soon.
