Error when installing a new system with HEAD from a couple of days ago

Hi,
trying to install a new system into a chroot jail currently fails:

# rpm -r /mnt/dest -ivh /RPMS/*.rpm
rpm: rpmdb.c:254:dbiOpen: Assertion `__dbapi == 3 || __dbapi == 4' failed.

(The same thing works if I run the command from a proper system rather
than a stripped down system that doesn't have an rpmdb by itself, so
without looking into it deeply, I think it's trying to open the system
rpmdb for some reason instead of creating the one in /mnt/dest).
