I just tried to reproduce this on my non-XO laptop running
today's
Rawhide, but can't. So it doesn't seem like it's affecting everyone,
whatever it is.
I re-installed 20090306, and 'rpm' now worked correctly.
Note that the symptom of this 20090307 problem is that 'rpm' runs
normally, and produces all the expected output messages. But (for a
package which was *not* previously in the system), while 'rpm -q -l'
now lists all the files that were supposed to have been installed by
that package -- doing 'ls' shows those files did *not* get inserted
into the system.
