I wasn't refering to rpm5/dbconvert.sh in that paragraph of mine, but 
considering that I chose a wrong approach in the past with populating 
chroots _in general_. Sorry if I didn't express myself clearly. I do not 
trust dbconvert.sh to automagically find out whether a RPMDB needs 
converting or not, hence I do not call it from rpm's %post.

What I wanted to ask was: Considering installing RPM packages into a system 
initially, such as it often happens when creating a build chroot, what's the 
best approach one can choose here?

Sure, in that case I gladly eat my hat or do something similar as to punish 
myself for my own stupidity since I'm the one creating %post & co.  :-)

TIA,
