I fixed various inconsistencies check in 6.4.2 regarding installed
extensions and in your case it found quite a mess since you seems to
have the all in one UI installed in one wiki and
org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-appwithinminutes-ui extension (which
is part of the standard all in one XAR too and so they conflict with
each other) which is installed in root namespace ("On farm" option in
the install UI). You should have various warnings about that in the
log at startup.
So it all depends why it's like this and which one is right exactly.
If you want to go back to a more standard state you can send me the
content of <permdir>/xwiki/extension/repository if you want me to look
at it and maybe cleanup a bit directly (it might be a bit big if you
installed lots of extensions).
The difference you will have with Distribution Wizard regarding farm
upgrade is that it's not upgrading the whole farm in a single job, you
upgrade the main wiki in a first step and then you take care of other
wikis either in a following step or you go to each one to have a
dedicated Distribution Wizard (in case each or some wikis have
different admins like in http://myxwiki.org farm for example).
