This was resolved in two ways:
- Debian's rpm used to not have a /var/lib/rpm dir to avoid people running rpm on Debian systems to install .rpms; this was changed with a patch failing installation instead of failing db creation
- rpm 4.4.2.2 now properly uses rootdir when expanding the db path:
- char * t = rpmExpand(rpmlock_path_default, NULL);
+ char * t = rpmGenPath(rootdir, rpmlock_path_default, NULL);

So yeah, this is fixed; thanks.
