Bug 51235

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.7 i686; Nav)

Description of problem:
I have a chrooted build environment, made with RH 7.1 packages, including
rpm 4.0.2-8.
I did a minimal update to the new beta versions of: popt, rpm, glibc and
glibc-common

bash-2.04: rpm -Uvh popt-1.6.3-0.79.i386.rpm rpm-4.0.3-0.79.rpm
glibc-2.2.3-19.i386.rpm glibc-common-2.2.3-19.i386.rpm

Everything went fairly well until it did the actual 'rpm' upgrade.  Then,
it warned that it was making Basenames.rpmnew, Conflictname.rpmnew,
Group.rpmnew, Name.rpmnew, Packages.rpmnew Providename.rpmnew,
Requirename.rpmnew and Triggername.rpmnew

Unfortunately, those files weren't actually created.  rpm -q rpm  shows the
version as 4.0.3-0.79, and rpm -qa shows the correctly installed RPMs.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a chrooted build environment with these packages:
filesystem, basesystem, mktemp, libtermcap, rootfiles, info, gawk, db1,
zlib, db2, diffutils, shadow-utils, gdbm, glibc-common, popt, setup,
termcap, bash, ncurses, fileutils, textutils, bzip2, db3, binutils, mount,
dev, perl, glibc, rpm.   [All from original 7.1 distribution, no updates)
with arguments:  -ivh --root=CHROOTDIR
2. chroot CHROOTDIR /bin/bash
3. rpm -Uvh popt-1.6.3-0.79.i386.rpm rpm-4.0.3-0.79.rpm
glibc-2.2.3-19.i386.rpm glibc-common-2.2.3-19.i386.rpm
4. /bin/ls -l /var/lib/rpm/*rpmnew
	

Actual Results:  All worked fine, got the warning messages stated in the
summary about creating the .rpmnew files in /var/lib/rpm/.
They aren't there.

Expected Results:  I'd expect to have them, since it warned me.  Either it
shouldn't warn me, or worse, it didn't create them. 

Additional info:

I can send a copy of the build environment .tgz file (pre-upgrade), it's
28mb, so a little larger than i'm comfortable with just attaching.
