In past, scrollkeeper was used by root in SuSEconfig (and triggered by
RPM postinstall), so /var/lib/scrollkeeper was existing in the build
root and this segfault was hidden.

Now scrollkeeper is only a development package and nobody calls
scrollkeeper-rebuilddb, so /var/lib/scrollkeeper does not exist.
