The reason it hadn't completed is that rpmdb-migrate.service
was enabled on that machine.
Enabling (and starting) that service made it complete.

I have one machine that has failed.
It was an upgrade from 35 to 36 done using dnf distro-sync
but I have plenty of others done the same way that worked.
One difference is that it's a machine that wasn't upgraded
until August while other ones were done back in May as a
result of which the upgrade was:
from rpm-4.17.1-3.fc35.x86_64
to rpm-4.17.1-3.fc36.x86_64
while other machines were more like:
from rpm-4.17.0-4.fc35.x86_64
to rpm-4.17.0-10.fc36.x86_64

The RPM database is supposed to move from /var/lib/rpm to
/usr/lib/sysimage/rpm. This was supposed to happen automatically when
you upgraded the rpm package from an earlier version to 4.17.0-10.fc36
(Feb-Mar 2022).
On several machines it is reported that the migration was only half-
completed. The symptoms are that the RPM database is still in
/var/lib/rpm (/usr contains symlinks to it). See typical output from
failed & successful migrations at the end of the email.
So _if_ you have rpm >= 4.17.0-10.fc36 installed:
- Do you see the symptom of a failed migration? Or does it appear
to be successful? (Or neither case??)
- Did you:
* Install F37 or Rawhide from scratch?
* Upgrade using ordinary dnf update or similar?
* Upgrade using dnf system-upgrade?
* Some other install/upgrade method?
