I prefer verbose error reporting mechanisms to "something didn't work", 
as a bug report :)

um, yeah, if you get one of these, just mail the full log buffer to me, 
I don't mind receiving them. it's almost always the first thing I'll ask 
for.

what you pasted looks very odd indeed -- duplicated packets? -- so I'd 
be curious to see the command you issued too. I just did this, and it 
worked here:

$ monotone --db=fetch.db db init
$ monotone --db=fetch.db fetch \

monotone: fetching packets from group 
http://www.off.net/monotone/depot.cgi/monotone
monotone: [bytes: 2618403] [packets: 1912]
monotone: http fetch complete
monotone: fetched 1912 packets
