Sadly such "enter a shell" functionality has never been implemented so
that isn't possible.

The message is basically saying that there are conflicted providers of
some things the SDK is trying to remove (like bash, perl). Its likely
the dummy recipe isn't providing something which it needs to which
would then stop the other provider being pulled in.

How to isolate what that is, I'm less sure about, there isn't an easy
way. I've just done it from package inspection in the past.

Cheers,
