Description of Problem:
When installing the rpm from rawhide, I get::

[root@localhost i386]# rpm -Fvh rpm*
Preparing...                ###########################################
[100%]
groupadd: group rpm exists
useradd: user rpm exists
   1:rpm                    ########################################### [
25%]
error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1)
   2:rpm-build              ########################################### [

   3:rpm-devel              ########################################### [

   4:rpm-python             ###########################################
[100%]
[root@localhost i386]# rpm -q db3
db3-3.1.17-7
[root@localhost i386]# rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.0.3-0.26

As you can see, it seems to install OK. It seems an odd warning. Nothing
else was running at the time.

Not just you, happpens to me too.  Repeatable by repeating the install using rpm
-Uvh --force, too.

[root@fraser RPMS]# rpm -Uvh --force rpm-4.0.3-0.26.i386.rpm

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2001-05-30 12:41:50 UTC

Yup. The %post in rpm is running "rpm --initdb" even when /var/lib/rpm/Packages
exists.

FIxed in next CVS checkin, should be in rpm-4.0.3-0.29.
