[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] make sure not to dereference NULL pointer (#106)

[Florian Festi]

The check for the missing states should not be done by file but per package.

rpmfsSetAction(fs, recs[j].fileno, FA_SKIP);
prevents new files from being removed on an update. This is not something we want to leave out light heartedly.

Possible things to do are: 
Error out and state that the rpmdb is corrupted (in a bit more detail)
Assume  RPMFILE_STATE_NORMAL for all files and rather risk leftover files than an empty system.

So this patch needs a redesign. Closing for now. Feel free to reopen or file a new one.
