I recall that, and wouldn't use it either. Calibre's first duplicate assumption is the book's title, and I have an assortment that are quite different books that happen to have the same title.

If you know it is a duplicate then you can highlight the existing record and drag-and-drop the file to the Book Details area. Alternatively you can go into the Edit Metadata dialog and drag the new copy to the Formats area. In both cases it will replace the existing one.
That's approximately what I do now. I'd just like a way to avoid doing it. "Add duplicate title, copy over metadata, then delete older version" gets tedious.
