Doesn't work :-(

Friend tested on backported 4.4.9:

[root@kivik /]# rm -fr /q/; mkdir /q; rpm -r /q --initdb; 
rpm -r /q --rebuilddb
[root@kivik /]# find /q/
/q/

I tested HEAD from 1 min ago:

[root@carme-pld-i686 ~]# rm -rf /q/
[root@carme-pld-i686 ~]# mkdir /q
[root@carme-pld-i686 ~]# ~arekm/rpm-test/bin/rpm --root /q --initdb
[root@carme-pld-i686 ~]# ~arekm/rpm-test/bin/rpm --root /q --rebuilddb
