[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] DB is inconsistent (#917)

Yes, rpmdb updates are not transactional in any of the backends, and if killed forcefully in mid-transaction this can and will happen. Hysterical as it is. LMDB isn't really any safer against this (in the current implementation), my guess is that it just completes faster so there's less chance of killing it mid-flight...

The plan is to finally address this in the current development cycle.
