Having duplicate packages have been discussed many times in the forum. Perhaps a search of the forum for your problem would have turned up the solution.  IF one would of searched first they would of found

"The fix is simple. In Synaptic, search for the name of each package (for example - mount) that you have more than one version of and mark the older version for removal."

Install the dupeclean package from Synaptic, and run it as root, from the command line, if you are comfortable with that. If not, install the dupeclean-gui package also, for a GUI front end for the same app.

well i installed dupeclean-gui
it did work well.
removed almost full system files[files removed shown in the link below]
i wonder how so many duplicates can be there
still the system works fine.
