If a plugin or applet is available in more than one plugin repository
there seems to be duplicate entries in Applet Installer.

The same scenario in Squeezebox Server, in the Plugins tab, never show
duplicate entries, it just shows the highest version.

Shouldn't the Applet Installer work the same way if an applet exists in
multiple repositories ?

I've also seen that if the versions in the repositories differs it once
installed the older version after a firmware upgrade. The reason is
probably that both entries are marked as "Installed" so it's not clear
which one Applet Installer will install in this case.

The duplicate entries scenario will typically occur for applets where
the developer have a "beta-testing" repository, in this case there might
be a version in the "recommended" or "other" list and another version in
the "beta-testing" repository. In this case I think users that have
setup the "beta-testing" repository should only see the beta version if
it has a higher version than the version in the recommended/other lists.
