+Attribute contains same meta item more than once.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0538
+#[deprecated(
+    since="1.0.0",
+    note="First deprecation note.",
+    note="Second deprecation note." // error: multiple same meta item
+)]
+fn deprecated_function() {}
+```
+
+Meta items are the key-value pairs inside of an attribute. Each key may only be
+used once in each attribute.
+
+To fix the problem, remove all but one of the meta items with the same key.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+#[deprecated(
+    since="1.0.0",
+    note="First deprecation note."
+)]
+fn deprecated_function() {}
+```
