If a duplicate showed up due to faulty package scripts then the above
without '--noscripts' will just fail.  That is why this option is needed
there.

'--justdb' in this particular case of cleaning another revision of the
same version should not matter that much.  I general with it you are
running a risk of leaving behind files which are not claimed by any
package.  Hardly a desirable result.  That option is really for rare
cases when you need to muck with a content of an rpm database without
any changes to your disk.
