G.f. of the number of integer partitions with each part appearing at
least two times is:

f(x) = \prod_{k>=1} (1 + x^(2k) + x^(3*k) + ...)
= \prod_{k>=1} (1/(1-x^k) - x^k)
= \prod_{k>=1} (1 - x^k + x^(2*k)) / (1 - x^k)

Excluding parts divisible by 3, we have:

f(x) / f(x^3) = \prod_{k>=1} (1 - x^k + x^(2*k)) * (1 - x^(3*k)) / (1
- x^k) / (1 - x^(3*k) + x^(6*k))
= \prod_{k>=1} (1 - x^k + x^(2*k)) * (1 + x^k + x^(2*k)) / (1 -
x^(3*k) + x^(6*k))
=  \prod_{k>=1} (1 + x^(2*k) + x^(4*k)) / (1 - x^(3*k) + x^(6*k))

that matches the g.f. given in  A132091:

%F A132091 G.f.: Product_{k>0} (1+x^(2*k)+x^(4*k))/ (1-x^(3*k)+x^(6*k)).
