They are includes, yes. And if you do --db-rebuild the problem always
got away for me. That's strange. Are you sure you have no more hanging
around "rpm" processes? I ask such silly, because during hacking on
this stuff I often forgot that there were still some processes hanging
around after I CTRL-C'd some "rpm --db-rebuild" process. Once all "rpm"
processes are killed and you _THEN_ run "rpm --db-rebuild" the database
should be correctly rebuilt and then "rpm -qa" has to work. At least
after I run "rpm --db-rebuild" once on all our development boxes, I've
never seen the "Resource temporarily unavailable" error again.
