Description of problem:
Your solution to bug report 57684:

>> Install rpm-4.0.3 packages from ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist-4.0.x
>> and do a --rebuilddb. That will eliminate damaged header
>> instance #1022 from your Packages database.

No can do.

I can't install the new RPM 4.0.3 via RPM, because RPM is broken.

I downloaded rpm-4.0.3.tar.gz and tried to build it, but it does not seem to
build properly.

If I understand the INSTALL instructions correctly, running ./autogen.sh should
set some env variable then launch configure.  

When I run ./autogen.sh all I get is a USAGE message ( see
http://www.geocities.com/jfxberns/autogen.output.txt ).  

I checked the versions of the required apps and they meet the requirements for
RPM 4.0.3 ( see http://www.geocities.com/jfxberns/versions.txt )

I tried ./configure, but it dies with an error (see
http://www.geocities.com/jfxberns/configure.output.txt ).

OK.  I am back to square one.  No working rpm, no way to run rpm --rebuilddb.

What's next?


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  d/l rpm-4.0.3.tar.gz
2.  tar -xzf rpm-4.0.3.tar.xzf
3.  cd rpm-4.0.3
4.  ./autogen.sh
5.  ./configure
	

Actual Results:  ./autogen.sh should run configure, but it doesn't

./configure exits with an error

Expected Results:  ./autogen should generate a proper config file...

Additional info:

I re-installed a fresh copy of db-3.1.17 just to make sure that that wasn't
generating a problem.
