Err, wrong query pasted in there. It should be:
$ rpm -ql rpmdb-redhat
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Basenames
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Conflictname
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Group
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Name
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Packages
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Providename
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Requirename
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Triggername

Yes, it is looking for the correct path. But look at the difference in
the names of the db files.
I have:
$ ls /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/
Basenames Group Packages Requirename
Conflictname Name Providename Triggername

My guess is that recent versions of rpm look for the more recent file
naming. Again, i don't know if rebuilding the database would fix that or
not.
I'd be willing to bet that installing rpmdb-redhat from the 7.1 or 7.2
distro would work.
