No no.. gpg-pubkey's aren't packages even if they show up in the list,
and it's totally ok (and even expected) that you have multiple of them.
The right thing to do is what apt suggests you to do: add this to
/etc/apt/apt.conf:
RPM::Allow-Duplicated { "^gpg-pubkey$"; };
Or even better, since gpg-pubkey's can't be installed or upgraded or
anything like that via apt it's better to make apt ignore them
completely:
RPM::Ignore:: "gpg-pubkey";
