Hello Warren,
RPM ever since RH9 has been shipping with an internalized db4, I
think
for the purpose of working without NPTL. It works great, and I have
used it every day since RH9's beta.
The built in db4 obviously is not the reason why rpm fails on anything
less than a pentium. NPTL code inside rpm is. Read the bug report for
details.
Leonard.
