Comment # 3 on bug 898723 from Michael Schr�der

The code in question already contains the following:

#FIXME - in theory some sort of try/except  here
# TypeError appears to be raised, sometimes :(
rp.getPrimary(complete_path, csum)

Anyway, the sqlite database generation code is kind of obsolete and the
generation is disabled by default in the createrepo version used in SLE12 and
Factory.
I thus don't think it is worth fixing (the second createrepo probably truncated
the primary file, so that the first createrepo crashed when it re-read the data
to generate the sqlite version).

Closing with WONTFIX. Thanks anyway for reporting!
