I wonder whether Google will index both blog post pages AND the blog main pages, since there often is an exact copy of the post's pages content...
Should one exclude for example the main pages with the robots meta tag (noindex, follow) and just allow the post pages (index, follow) for indexing? or is there no problem in the first place?

Welcome croni! 
They always seem to index them fine, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Welcome croni ! 
I seriously wouldn't worry about it. If you blog very often posts will drop off of the main page pretty quickly anyway, so the archives will be the only place the posts show up before too long.
Besides, I don't think I would ever encourage anyone to restrict bots from reading or indexing main pages of a site. Doing so could have all sorts of detrimental effects.

So 'double content', i.e. the same content on different pages indexed by search engines is not really an issue to worry about?
