Forgotten:

Look for which Application the dep ist needed, try to remove the application+dep, cleanup
the dupes and finally install the application again which will pull the deps again

watch out for any "rpmsave" configurations while remove packages for such
cleanups and rename them back, so the new versions will installed as "rpnew"
finally instead get lost your manually changed configs
