rpmdb error during post-install script

Description of problem: With latest cvs source on FC5 x86_64: Installing xorg-x11-drivers-7.0-2... Done [920/920] Performing post install configuration... In progress... Running post-install scripts *** anaconda has finished the job *** rpmdb: Program version 4.3 doesn't match environment version error: db4 error(-30974) from dbenv->open: DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30974) error: cannot open Packages database in /scratch/livecd-build_no7/system/var/lib/rpm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/share/kadischi/kadischi.py", line 216, in ? kernel_version = get_kernel_version (sysdir) File "/usr/local/share/kadischi/lib/functions.py", line 75, in get_kernel_version for mi in ts.dbMatch ('name', 'kernel-xen0'): TypeError: rpmdb open failed How reproducible: every time I think this has to do with using different rpm versions, perhaps in and out of a chroot.

I do not have the hardware to test this error, for 64 bit machines. Can you explain a bit more about your build environment for Kadischi and what environment it is running in, along with the arch of the repository you are using? Does the patch you provided appear to solve the problem for sure?
