Description of problem:
rpm-4.1-1.06 was initially broken with some race condition that would
cause lockups very often (with and without apt-get.) Since then
rpm-4.1-9 was released as test packages. The reports of rpm-4.1-9
locking up may have been this bug in rpm that Conectiva fixed a few
months ago. Those people who were using apt-get but aborted left behind
__db* files which blocked rpm from working properly. Please check out
these links:

http://bugzilla.conectiva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4688
The fix mentioned in the above links have subsequently been tested on
Red Hat and SuSE, although I'm not exactly sure why it works since rpm
itself (without apt-get) leaves behind __db* files after normal use.
Could someone please explain how this works?
Most of Conectiva's Bugzilla is in Portuguese so I cannot read their
solution to this problem.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat 8.0
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use 3rd party apt-get.
2. CTRL-C abort before it finishes.
Actual Results:
rpm fails.
Expected Results:
rpm should be able to handle this situation.
