Sure, I do not expect that you can give a solution. I just wanted to
drop us a note that there might be still a bug somewhere related to the
RPMDB.

My problem is that I currently cannot reproduce the problem. I'm
currently doing a lot of operations on the repaired RPMDB and everything
works just fine now. Hmmm... I'll observe this OpenPKG instance and its
RPMDB the next days...
