This is probably self-explanatory, however, the instructions in
etc/pkgin/repositories.conf
are not clear:

$ cat /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf
# Simply add repositories URIs one below the other

"Simply" might lead someone to thinking it's just ok to add as many
repos as possible (à la Debian).

# WARNING: order matters, duplicates will not be added, if two
# repositories hold the same package, it will be fetched from
# the first one listed in this file.

This is not what happened to the OP. If I've got it right, he did get
duplicates.
