New submission from Francis MB: Running the test suite or 'test_distutils' triggers the creation of the directory '.rpmdb'. I noticed that because somehow that directory was bad formed and got errors while running the test suite:
error: db5 error(-30969) from dbenv->open: BDB0091 DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch error: cannot open Packages index using db5 - (-30969) error: cannot open Packages database in /home/ci/.rpmdb error: db5 error(-30969) from dbenv->open: BDB0091 DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch error: cannot open Packages index using db5 - (-30969) error: cannot open Packages database in /home/ci/.rpmdb After moving that directory and running the suite again the directory reappeared (but that time, and since then, no errors occurred). It seems that 'test_distutils.test_bdist_rpm' triggers that behavior. This seems to be due 'rpm' having it so configured [1]. In my case: $ rpm -v --showrc | grep '.rpmdb' -14: _dbpath %(bash -c 'echo ~/.rpmdb') Here is a patch that confines the creation of this directory to the temporal test directory.
