Hi everyone, i'm not at home actually, but i could quite easily reproduce the problem when i was using cooker in a chrooted environment, from a 10.2 installation. Many times while i entered the chroot and did 'urpmi.update -a && urpmit --auto-select', i had those RPM DB problems. I'm not completely sure this was the same error, but since you need a test case, this one may work.
