Use an iterator on RPMDBI_LABEL is one approach.

Using primary retrieval on RPMTAG_NAME with 2ndary explicit filtering on
RPMTAG_VERSION and RPMTAG_RELEASE within your iteration
loop is another approach.

Primary retrieval on RPMTAG_NAME with implicit pattern matches on  
RPMTAG_VERSION
and RPMTAG_RELEASE using rpmdbSetIteratorRE() is a 3rd approach.

The approaches are all basically identical in the sense that
the same comparison operations are performed.
