Comment # 8 on bug 1087723 from Michael Andres

@mls see ~ma/Export/bsc1087723:
  /var/lib/rpm
  /var/cache/zypp/solv/@System 


In @System, beside the solv file:

  rpmdb.index
  solv.index

Content of the rpmdb and the solv file formated 'rpmdbid n v-r a' and sorted by
name. (side-by-side diff reveals the interesting parts).

  multiple-entries

Excerpt of the solv.index listing all packages which claim to be installed in
multiple versions.


E.g. for enlightenment-theme-openSUSE:
> rpmdb.index: 7896   enlightenment-theme-openSUSE 20170726-3.1 noarch
> rpmdb.index: 7925   enlightenment-theme-openSUSE 20170726-3.1 noarch
> rpmdb.index: 8777   enlightenment-theme-openSUSE 20170726-3.1 noarch
> 
> solv.index:  1568   enlightenment-theme-openSUSE 20170714-1.1 noarch
> solv.index:  7925   enlightenment-theme-openSUSE 20170726-3.1 noarch
> solv.index:  8777   enlightenment-theme-openSUSE 20170726-3.1 noarch

Other packages I checked show similar symptom. The rpmdb lists the same (new)
version for all entries. the solv file shows the same entries except for one,
which lists the old version and a different rpmdbid.

Also:
> $ rpm -q enlightenment-theme-openSUSE --dbpath /suse/ma/Export/bsc1087723/var/lib/rpm
> package enlightenment-theme-openSUSE is not installed
> 
> $ rpm -qa enlightenment-theme-openSUSE --dbpath /suse/ma/Export/bsc1087723/var/lib/rpm
> enlightenment-theme-openSUSE-20170726-3.1.noarch
> enlightenment-theme-openSUSE-20170726-3.1.noarch
> enlightenment-theme-openSUSE-20170726-3.1.noarch

So the database index is broken.

But it does not explain me why rpmdb and solv file are out of sync... Maybe
there's something we can enhance.
