Hmmm. It seems that the rpmmodule and the rpm binary uses different
versions of the Berkeley DB:

Before rebuilding with rpm.rebuilddb( '/' ):

$ file /var/lib/rpm/nameindex.rpm
/var/lib/rpm/nameindex.rpm: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order)

After rebuilding with rpm.rebuilddb.( '/' ):

$ file /var/lib/rpm/nameindex.rpm
/var/lib/rpm/nameindex.rpm: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 5, native byte-order)
