Doru,

In the future, please post to cygwin AT cygwin DOT com instead of sending
private email so others can benefit too.

Sorry, but I have only used my Cygwin rpm port in a very casual way.
Actually, I have only "viewed" RPMs with it -- I never installed any
packages with it.

Anyway, the following is the output for the same command sequence in your
email to the RPM list:

    $ rpm --version
    RPM version 4.0.2
    $ rpm -qa
    $ rpm -qa
    $ rpm -q less
    error: cannot open Name index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
    package less is not installed
    $ rpm -q -i less
    error: cannot open Name index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
    package less is not installed
    $ rpm -q --info less
    error: cannot open Name index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
    package less is not installed

Hence, my port seems to handle -qa and -qi or not having anything
installed is masking problems.

Jason
