Probably something close to that. You may try to remove only the new
versions with --justdb, and ask apt to upgrade again. You may also
try Smart with "smart fix", which will remove the old versions from
the duplicated packages which shouldn't be in the system (e.g. you
may want kernel packages to stay duplicated).
