  ==== RPM database format change ====
  
  Quoting [[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Sqlite_Rpmdb]]
  
- //The current rpm database implementation is based on Berkeley DB 5.x, a version which is unmaintained upstream for several years now. Berkeley DB 6.x is license incompatible so moving to that is not an option. In addition, the existing rpmdb implementation is notoriously unreliable as it's not transactional and has no other means to detect inconsistencies either.

Berkeley DB 6.x is license incompatible so moving to that is not an option.

  Changing to a more sustainable database implementation is long overdue. We propose to change the default rpmdb format to the new sqlite based implementation.//
  
    * The rpm database format changes from Berkeley DB to SQLite, conversion is automatic after rpm package set update. Backup of the old database is saved as ''/var/lib/rpm.rpmbackup-VERSION-RELEASE'', using version and release of the package that is installed (not the old one). Ex. if the old package was rpm-5.4.15-58 and the new one is rpm-4.16.1.2-1, the backup of the database will be in ''/var/lib/rpm.rpmbackup-4.16.1.2-1''.
