It is not actually a problem. The new RPM 4.2.1 requires a working
locking infrastructure by default. Many NFS installations are not
enabled for locking (lockd).

Ralf already mentioned the workaround to change the default to revert
to the old RPM 4.0.x behaviour.

During bootstrap, a temporary RPM database is created in $TMPDIR. A
practial workaround is to point TMPDIR to a local (or any locking
enabled) filesysontem. This has been verified to work during beta
testing. See http://www.openpkg.org/showcase.html
