I can't reproduce the endless loop, but there are several other  
problems.

The root cause I'm seeing is headerGetExtension() returning NULL for
RPMTAG_NVRA. I'll have a fix this evening.

BTW, rpm -e gpg-pubkey-2039b291 also doesn't erase the just imported  
key.
That should be added to devtool.

rpm -qa should be done after the import, not before. --initdb does  
little
that is interesting or useful.

And all the sanity checks in devtool should be run with -vv.
