Hi Sriram, Thanks for your reply. The dbpath in my case is set properly as usr/local/rpm5. root assigned as /tmp is supposed to create the rpmdb using dbpath /tmp/usr/local/rpm5/. I am already working with RPM 5.1.9 compiled with internal Berkley and everything works fine, except when I try to use the same dbpath to be queried by RPM 4.8 causing RPMDB incompatibility.
