Description of problem: Updating the rpm database at the end of Package Install
for an Upgrade takes a very long time, and there is no visual feedback that the
process is not hung or crashed.  For instance, when upgrading from FC5 to FC6Pre
on a PowerPC Apple Macintosh Mini (1.25GHz, 512MB RAM), the text mode install
screen had Package Install at 100% for over 15 minutes.  I though it was hung,
but using VT2 to do an strace of anaconda convinced me that it was making slow
progress updating the rpm database (at something like 1 package per second).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-11.1.0.102-1

How reproducible:
[haven't tried]

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the rescue CD to upgrade from FC5 to FC6Pre.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Package Install apparently finishes (progress bar shows 100% after 2hr45min via
DSL for Basic + Software Development), then sits for over 15 minutes without
change or apparent progress, yet eventually completes.

Expected results:
Something that takes longer than 20 or 30 seconds should have a progress bar, as
an indication that progress is being made, and to allow the user to estimate
when it might complete.  In this case, there were about 900 packages, so a
progress bar of about 1/2 the screen width would have done nicely.
