I keep my build machine of F9 due to similar issues I saw building F7
from F9 -- however, ISTR there's been some discussion of this
recently. Hmmm, a bit of googling leads to a nice thread

  http://www.mail-archive.com/fedora-buildsys-list@redhat.com/msg02210.html

which if you read in depth seems to indicate that either of:

   rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
   /bin/rpm --rebuilddb

fixes the problem. Probably either triggers the other.

For obvious reasons I am interested in the results -- let me know if it works.
