As a result of that bug, my database is now about 60 megs total so it would
be really nice if there was a way to cut it down again. Each time I did
a --rebuild, it would just append the new database to the old one so now I
have around 8 copies of all the rpms I have installed in the database. Is
there a way to make it cut out all the duplicate entries?

Subject: rpm --rebuilddb failure
Included is a patch which I believe correctly resolves the following
failure in the latest (yesterday or today) rpm-3.0.4-0.33 that is in
rawhide.
[root@narn rpm-3.0.4]# rpm -vv --rebuilddb
D: rebuilding database /var/lib/rpm into /var/lib/rpm
temporary database /var/lib/rpm already exists
D: creating directory: /var/lib/rpm
error creating directory /var/lib/rpm: File exists
