Description

We have recently thrown out the validate_duplicate_content function because it was causing problems. See here: https://github.com/pulp/pulp_deb/pull/633

However this is at best a workaround. We should look into re-adding this check, while properly addressing the issue.

See the discussion on the referenced PR for details.

Start by reading the validate_duplicate_content history and the discussion in pull request 633, which the issue identifies as containing the relevant details. Trace why the check was removed and define the underlying failure before changing it. Done means duplicate content is validated without reproducing the problems that led to its removal.
