Yaroslav,
Could it be that you have tried to use a function fn before loading the
package ijn which it is defined?
If so, even after loading the package, the function will not work; but it
will work after entering Remove[fn].

I get the following with your input


In[13]:=
<<DiscreteMath`ComputationalGeometry`

In[14]:=
ConvexHull[{{0,0},{1,0},{0,0},{2,0},{1,1}}]

ConvexHull::duplicated: 1 duplicated points ignored.

Out[14]=
{4,5,1,2}
