This came across yesterday, and it helped me;

I ran that script as well just a few minutes ago and it got rid of all
my dups. Everything seems to be good now, but I'll have to keep this all
in mind for the next time around.
The script is just this in case you still can't get to it:
for file in `rpm -qa --queryformat="%{NAME} %{ARCH}\n" | sort | uniq -c
| grep -v " 1 " | cut -c 9- | cut -d" " -f1`; do rpm -q --last $file |
tail -1 | cut -d" " -f1; done | grep -v gpg-pubkey | xargs rpm -e
--justdb --nodeps 2> /tmp/dupes

Fix the wrap so it is on one line, you could even throw it in a script just in
case.
