There's apparently an rpmdb problem with sqlite > 3.4.2 (which I use),
and 3.5.1 (which arekm uses).

There's a "working" (for me) sqlite db at
     ftp://jbj.org/pub/jbj/rpm.sqlite.tar.gz
if that helps sort out the problem.

To be fair, there's also some Berkeley DB incompatibility between HEAD
and rpm-4_5 that I'm routinely seeing, but not yet looked at. At the  
moment
I'm doing --rebuilddb when flipping between HEAD and rpm-4_5 branches.

I'll get to the issues soon, but likely not for a week or so.
