Comment 1 Thierry Vignaud 2013-04-16 20:51:06 CEST

either removing /var/lib/rpm/__* or running "rpm --rebuilddb" should do the trick

Comment 2 claire robinson 2013-04-16 21:02:57 CEST

Yep it did. Can it be prevented or is it just inevitable?

Comment 3 Thierry Vignaud 2013-04-16 21:51:59 CEST

It cannot

Comment 4 Anne Nicolas 2013-05-01 22:00:59 CEST

so closing that bug as WONTFIX ?
