They werent duplicates.
Those units (or their packages) are now hardcoded included.

This error happens everytime, when packages become part of the core list.
Because older IDE are not forward compatible with that sort of change.

With then removed, the IDE will fail to build, when those packages are 
not installed manually.

==========
To work around:

Build once via
   make clean bigide
and after that all should work.

Or remove the 3 units from lazarus.pp / rebuild / add them again

Once you have a new IDE, it wont add them to staticpackages anymore.
