def merge_dicts(current, additions, overwrite=False, error_on_conflict=True, remove_duplicates=True):
    &#34;&#34;&#34;
    Merges two dictionaries and returns a new dictionary. Works as follows:
    - If a key exists in the additions dictionary but not in the current dictionary, it is added.
    - If a key maps to None in the current dictionary, it is replaced by the value in the additions dictionary.
    - If a key exists in both dictionaries and the values are dictionaries, the function is called recursively.
    - If a key exists in both dictionaries and the values are lists, the lists are concatenated and duplicates are removed
      (if remove_duplicates is True).
    - If the values are of different types, an exception is raised.
    - If the values are of the same type but not both lists/dictionaries, the value from the additions dictionary overwrites the value in the current dictionary based on the overwrite parameter.
    
    Parameters:
    - current (dict): The original dictionary.
    - additions (dict): The dictionary with values to add.
    - overwrite (bool): Whether to overwrite values if they are of the same type but not both lists/dictionaries.
    - error_on_conflict (bool): Whether to raise an error if there is a conflict and overwrite is False.
    - remove_duplicates (bool): Whether to remove duplicates from lists when merging.
    
    Returns:
    - dict: A new dictionary with merged values.
