Gidday,

There was a bug in RPM which, upon trying to install packages when /usr 
is mounted read only, results in a corrupted RPM database.

Of course, it shouldn't be able to actually install any RPMS when /usr 
is read only, but it should fail gracefully.

It's marked in bugzilla (#119185) as 'closed' and 'notabug' although it 
clearly is a rather serious bug.

Does anyone know if this has been fixed in Fedora Core 2?

thanks,
Greg
