First, how did this happen? Is the package system out of sync, or did
you have a failed install?
Second, to deal with it: make a script to automatically remove the
files. Just pipe the output to a file, go in with your favourite
editor and delete everything before and after the filelists, and then
replace " (same md5)" with "", and then for file in `cat files`; do rm
file; done
Or just rm every file it lists by hand?
