[support] Duplicate entry error

[Michael Prasuhn]

Do you have an old version of the Skinr module installed? Older version
are particularly prone to causing this problem.

In short this problem is caused by a race condition when two separate
requests are trying to rebuild the theme information in the database
from all the individual .info files.

This was fixed by introducing a lock there to prevent concurrent
rebuilds of the theme data, and you'll need Drupal 6.24 or newer to
prevent these errors.

Here's the relevant change if you are interested:
