In my list of installed ado packages (given by the -adoupdate- command), I noticed the following duplication:


[22] dpredict at http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/d:
installed package is up to date

[23] dpredict at http://repec.org/bocode/d:
installed package is up to date


1. Should I be concerned that the same package, from two different sources, is purportedly installed on my computer? Should I get rid of one of them?

2. If I wanted to get rid of one, which is the one I should keep? That is, is one source (B.C. vs. RePEc) the preferred repository?

3. If I wanted to get rid of one, how do I specify the one to delete? Typing -ssc uninstall dpredict- returns the error message:

criterion matches more than one package
r(111);

whereas -which dpredict- only finds one instance (which I suspect is how it is supposed to behave: it lists the first occurrence in my adopath[*]). Perhaps that is because there is only one occurrence (as the second install overwrote the first)[+], but -adoupdate- and - ssc- seem nonetheless to be confused. Suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help.


[*] In case it affects -adoupdate- or -ssc-, my adopath is modified in my profile.do:

[1] (UPDATES) "/Applications/Stata/ado/updates/"
[2] (BASE) "/Applications/Stata/ado/base/"
[3] (SITE) "/Volumes/PCSOFT/Data Analysis/Stata/ shared_programs/"
[4] "."
[5] (PERSONAL) "/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/personal/"
[6] (PLUS) "/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/"
[7] (OLDPLACE) "/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/"


[+] In the shell, 'find / -name "dpredict.ado" -print 2> /dev/null' returns only a single instance: '/Library/Application Support/Stata/ ado/plus/d/dpredict.ado'.
