I still have this problem once in a while with RPM 4.2, release 0.69. A serious
problem when you count on RPM to update patches automatically from a cronjob
every night on hundreds of hosts. If some hosts get their RPM database
screwed... you get the idea.
Unfortunatly, I never got the problem reproduced systematically, thus I never
opened a bug report on this.
