When deploying and removing bundles via STS, there often arises an issue which appears to be a failure to clean up removed bundles. When starting clean, the bundles can be dragged down to Virgo and installed as expected. Very often when the bundle is removed, the bundle is not removed and there will be two entries for each bundle in the listing in STS. Later, if you try to deploy the bundle again, you'll get the error below. The bundle is most assuredly not installed, however. This then requires a clean restart and manually deleting the stage. Inspecting the stage show no file there. (So in this example, amacremedy.repository is not in the stage directory.)
