Subject: [PATCH] Revert "Signal user-error on duplicate package refresh"

That commit caused errors when the connection was dropped in the
middle of a package refresh.  To avoid any further issues this close
to the pretest, we simply remove this feature.  (Bug#39187)

Don't merge to master, where we will instead try to fix the bug.
