Well, in OpenPKG since years we've created a database under
<DESTDIR><prefix>/RPM/DB/ and this was later installed into the target
path <prefix>/RPM/DB/. This worked just fine until DB 4.6. Now we have
to at least explicitly remove the __db.* files after "rpm --initdb". But
I just wanted to share my experience with DB 4.6 here in case someone
else is faced with a similar situation...
