That is not what that error means. What it does mean is that there is a
variable called PACKAGES which is used to control the list of packages
produced by a recipe, and in the value of that variable for the c-mlib recipe,
a c-mlib package is listed more than once. You need to look at what you are doing in the
recipe with the PACKAGES variable and fix it so that that does not occur.

FYI for future reference there's a useful section of the manual describing
warnings and what to do about them:

Cheers,
