Hi, Tim.

There are duplicate entries in the casper filesystem manifests:

Is this a mistake?

It hinders my checks, so I've corrected the filesystem manifests:

> mv -i bio-linux-7.0.2-filesystem.manifest bio-linux-7.0.2-filesystem.manifest.orig
> sort bio-linux-7.0.2-filesystem.manifest.orig | uniq >bio-linux-7.0.2-filesystem.manifest

I'm using "manifest-desktop" to verify that Bio-Linux installations done 
using your "bio-linux-install.sh" upgrade script are equivalent to 
installations done directly from the .iso release. I'm only checking the 
package names, not their versions, using the "dpkg-dsel" script that I 
wrote to validate Bio-Linux 6 installations the same way.

Bye,

   Tony.
