Depending on how the check is done, you might want to exclude the kernel
from this check. I've added that check to my python scripts. They already
do some checks like looking if any package apart from the kernel has
more than one rpm installed per arch and similar checks which could also
point at failed post scripts.
(So the below patch is an addition for "pyrpm.py --checkrpmdb".)
