Expected results:

Push succeeds.

Additional info:

This is almost surely related to the rpmdb mismatch from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487621#c5

While we worked around it for that particular bug, I suspect the issue is biting us again.

If my assumption is correct then bug #491119 is probably of interest as well.
