It's not your preferred method, but in case you need a quick fix now,
"!}uniq -d" shows that line 6 is in fact the only repetition. (The '2'
makes 4 unique, and 7,8 are distinctly different.) Mind you, in a bigger
file, especially with multiple matches, using uniq would be less
appealing, and I'd pipe to a bit of awk.

Alternatively, "!}sort -u" sorts the lines, and removes duplicates. Do
you need to do more than that?
