Please can you make sure two bugs are filed against libguestfs and
supermin components to track this change (if it happens).  We now use
librpm to parse the RPM database so I think we're OK from the
inspection side, but we do use the RPM database's real location in two
places:

[supermin] To test if a package has been installed/upated/removed
so that we can rebuild our cache

[libguestfs] To build a "phony" Fedora image for testing with a
fake RPM database.

Will the symlink also exist on new installs, or only on upgrades?
