Okay, well we found this, which looks a bit suspect:
dbconfig.c in db3New:
dbi->dbi_byteswapped = 0; /* -1 unknown, 0 native order, 1 alien order */
rpmdb.h
int dbiByteSwapped(dbiIndex dbi)
/*@modifies dbi @*/
{
if (dbi->dbi_byteswapped == -1)
dbi->dbi_byteswapped = (*dbi->dbi_vec->byteswapped) (dbi);
return dbi->dbi_byteswapped;
}
I've set the initialization to -1 in dbconfig and that, combined with
Paul Nasrat's patch (tweaked to go against rpm-4.2.1) and it seems to
pass basic testing. By the way, is there anon CVS for rpm HEAD? I
noted the dbconfig.c init value was the same in rpm-4.3.3 and was
interested if it was also the same in HEAD.
Paul.
