Package: rpm
Version: 4.4.1-8
Severity: important

While attempting to build an rpmstrap definition for FC5/PPC, I noticed
that the 'rpm' command wasn't doing anything; I tried running rpm
manually with the same arguments via strace, and noticed this:

open("/tmp/fc5/var/lib/rpm/DB_CONFIG", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No 
such file or directory)
stat64("/tmp/fc5/var/lib/rpm/__db.001", 0x7ff711c8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file 
or directory)
open("/tmp/fc5/var/lib/rpm/__db.001", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) 
= 4
fcntl64(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)         = 0
open("/tmp/fc5/var/lib/rpm/__db.001", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = 5
fcntl64(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)         = 0
_llseek(5, 0, [0], SEEK_END)            = 0
_llseek(5, 8192, [8192], SEEK_CUR)      = 0
write(5, 
"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"...,
 8192) = 8192
mmap2(NULL, 16384, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 5, 0) = 0x3001a000
close(5)                                = 0
gettimeofday({1145813523, 525296}, NULL) = 0
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 1000})  = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 2000})  = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 4000})  = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 8000})  = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 16000}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 25000}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 25000}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 25000}) = 0 (Timeout)
....

which it then continues on with infinitely. I tried with another,
similar package (the setup package for FC4 instead of the one for FC5),
with the same results. Downgrading to the 4.4.1-7 rpm and librpm4
packages got me going again, but this is a real showstopper. I can
provide more strace output or similar if needed; please let me know what
more I can supply.
