Last time I checked --initdb just creates an empty database. --
rebuilddb creates an empty database and re-populates it. You can run
the latter after former. In fact, I typically had to do that back with
early RPM 4.0.
Furthermore, RPM 4 can get RPM database info from outside the database.
Remember, the db is just an index. The RPM information is stored
outside of it too.
