Hi

We're experiencing a problem with RPM database corruption after
installing a system with autoyast.

So far we've only been able to trigger the problem with SLES9 SP4, but
the problem only occurs once in a while so it's possible it's present
with the other SUSE distributions only we haven't been able to trigger
it yet.

The problem only occurs if we install additional RPM packages in the
chroot hook in the autoyast file. E.g.:

if we do:
rpm -ivh 
http://172.11.0.111/scali/repository/os_sles9_sp4_i386/sp4-i386/CD1/suse/i586/ypserv-2.12.1-44.5.i586.rpm

in the chroot section, after installation "rpm -qa" report ypserv beeing
installed but "rpm -q ypsev" says it's not installed:

# rpm -q $(rpm -qa) | grep "not installed" 
package ypserv-2.12.1-44.5 is not installed
#       


Is this a known bug?

Are you supposed to be able to install rpm packages like this in the
chroot section, or could there be problems with autoyast and rpm both
making changes to the rpm database at the same time
