Please can you make sure two bugs are filed against libguestfs and
supermin components to track this change (if it happens).  We now use
librpm to parse the RPM database so I think we're OK from the
inspection side, but we do use the RPM database's real location in two
places:

[supermin] To test if a package has been installed/upated/removed
so that we can rebuild our cache

[libguestfs] To build a "phony" Fedora image for testing with a
fake RPM database.

Comment 1 Ben Cotton 2022-02-08 21:10:19 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle.
Changing version to 36.

Comment 2 Ben Cotton 2023-04-25 16:47:41 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2023-04-26 10:57:47 UTC
I've not done this yet, but let's move the bug to the right upstream tracker.
