If you built an image that had a different version of rpm inside the
chroot vs out (eg, say building a Fedora 9 live image on a rawhide box
or vice versa) you end up with rpm telling you that the db versions
don't match.  And since we can safely know that the rpmdb isn't being
accessed at that point, it is safe to remove /var/lib/rpm/__db* which
are the lock files
