>From your second link:
    Yes, I did get lots of duplicate packages but I've already fixed
    that.  Basically, what I did was to run Adam Stoke's script to
    remove duplcate packages. It can be located at
    http://astokes.org/?q=node/49

That website is no longer working.  Is there still a copy of this
script floating around?
