This is the difference before and after conversion:
[root@smartqv7 ~]# file rpm/Packages
rpm/Packages: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 9, native byte-order)
[root@smartqv7 ~]# file /var/lib/rpm/Packages
/var/lib/rpm/Packages: Berkeley DB (Btree, version 9, big-endian)
Ok I fixed macros file accordingly and rebuilddb showed no errors but no index
tables were created.
# rpm --rebuilddb -vv

Next I tried an installation/remove command:
# rpm -e python-rpm
It takes a very long time to create Providename and Requirename, then I have
this error and the package is not removed:
rpm: rpmdb.c:2193: rpmmiNext: Assertion `(size_t)p.size == sizeof(mi-
>mi_offset)' failed.

Yes I think I've learned it, but is this available with db 4.7 too?
