Description of problem: unable to open RPM database during update process



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):I downloaded Mageia-2-beta2-i586-DVD.iso torrent version


How reproducible: yes I tried 3 times; torrent file integrity verified


Steps to Reproduce:
1 iso installation on Virtualbox 4.1.10 - WinXP SP3 host(no errors)- I didn't ask any update process during install - The system is OK as I reboot VM.

2 - add core and core update repositories, remove CDRom core media source to rpmdrake

3 - ask for updating mageia
      rpmdrake updates : - meta-task to V2
                         - perl-URPM to V3.40
                         - rpmdrake to V5.31

4 - restart rpmdrake, try to update mageia

Msg displayed :"fatal error : Couldn't open RPM DB() at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14.2/Rpmdrake/open_db.pm line 74."
