package conflict

tried to install kanso_home to mess around with it and got an error when doing kanso fetch :

mandric in ~/dev/demos/kanso_home 
$ kanso fetch

Ok, this may be a lesson in kanso packaging for me.

So kanso_home has duality:null in its kanso.json file which translates to latest version, so kanso complains? Secondly, I don't need to do kanso fetch for kanso_home because it already has the packages committed to the repo. But fetch should be happy, so I think the proper fix here is one of the following:

• update kanso_home/kanso.json with duality:"0.9.0" exact version number and the other packages as well
• make fetch ignore version numbers when duality:null or a null value is used for a dependency, so if a local package is present just accept it. null probably shouldn't translate to requiring the latest?
• make it a convention that if you define/package your own local packages you include exact version numbers in the local packages

Also strangely enough when I include "duality": ">=0.0.9" in kanso_home/kanso.json, fetch still complains about conflicting version, but if I use "0.0.9" it doesn't.
