Since RPM 4.14, RPM creates a new directory, writes the database

Does it use renameat2(RENAME_EXCHANGE)?

No, rpm doesn't use many Linux-specific calls and this is no exception. In fact it doesn't use any of the *at() family calls directly either.

This is actually the first I hear about that system call which indeed seems highly useful for rpm, so thanks for the tip :)
