Description of problem:
After upgrading to latest rpm from rawhide (previous version was the previous
rpm from rawhide) the rpm does not work anymore.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 rpm-4.2-0.68
 popt-1.8-0.68 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(as root)
1. upgrade to rpm-4.2-0.68 and popt-1.8-0.68  (rawhide from today)
2. rpm -q rpm (any package) -> error message

(as normal user you CAN do rpm -q package without error!?)

I also tried to remove __db* files, but it did not help.


Actual Results:  
rpmdb: unable to join the environment
error: db4 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Resource temporarily unavailable (11)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
package rpm is not installed
