Unfortunately, it does not:
# rpm --rebuilddb
error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h#     920 Header V3 DSA signature:
BAD, key ID 897da07a
error: db4 error(16) from dbenv->remove: Device or resource busy

For the record, I'm using rpm-4.2.1-0.11 and up2date-3.1.46-2. Do you
think upgrading these to the rawhide versions would fix the problem?

This system is an IBM ThinkPad P-III/M laptop w/512M.
