I was hoping someone can help me understand what is happening and how to address
it for our embedded system needs.

For reference:

http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1174

from the above, the complaint is:

When using zypper/rpm install/removal package, database files and log files
cost a lot of disk space and may cause target image out of space.

The first time when we use RPM, a lot of database files will be created, larger
than 10MB.

---

Each of the __db.* files created are large.  Nearly 10 MB each.  In addition in
the "log" directory are additional files that are also nearly 10 MB each.

Are there any suggestions for changing the BerkleyDB configuration, either the
config file or RPM settings/usages that would help me shrink down these sizes --
or potentially help me eliminate the creation of these files?

I'm currently using rpm-5.4.0 from rpm-5.4.0-0.20101229.src.rpm.
