I'm using a sync'ed repository from 

mirror.web-ster.com::fedora/core/3/i386

so, I'm using the Fedora/base data files that come from there. I've
reverted back to a standard repository b/c I wanted to rule out my
custom Fedora/base files as the source of the problem.

I've run rpm -qpR <...rpm> and all looks fine, so I'm pretty sure the
repository is fine.  I've checked my system logs and rsync hasn't
complained...

On my FC3 host, I'm using:

busybox-anaconda-1.00.rc1-5
anaconda-runtime-10.1.0.2-1
anaconda-10.1.0.2-1

which I patched from the kadishi distro (without error), even though a
later version is noted in the kadischi docs. 

I've noticed, however, that when using rpm to inspect my kadischi rpm
database, I must specify a fully-qualified path for rpm (e.g., rpm --
dbpath /tmp/livecd-build_no34/system/var/lib/rpm ...) and not a relative
path, having cd'd to the livecd system directory.  

I've not used an alternate rpm database in the past, so don't know if
that's rpm's expected behavior.
