FWIW, the few times I got stuck in a case like that, I rpm -V'ed the
newer dupes, and if that resulted in an OK, you can do this:

rpm -e --justdb --noscripts (older version)

what that basically does is simply remove the entry from the RPM
database without running any scriptlets or actually deleting any files
from the filesystem.
