you obviously have a fubar'd rpmdb and/or a broken update/upgrade that you never fixed!
I think I'm seeing the light here. Combined with what Ralph said, which was most helpful, I apparently am not supposed to have multiple versions laying around? Unlike the kernel?
did you just never realise there were duplicates there ?
When you said "duplicates", I was thinking along the lines of two "4.3.3-11", etc. But I see that is not the case here.

So I now presume, based on the snippet Ralph provided that the breakage is not *duplicates*, but multiple versions installed at the same time (if we could believe my rpm db)? Is that correct?
