[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Newer rpm can't read older rpm database (Issue #2426)

[Craig Andrews]

I figured out my problem: [In fedora 36, the rpm dbpath changed from `/var/lib/rpm` to `/usr/lib/sysimage/rpm`](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RelocateRPMToUsr).

To demonstrate the fact that using the correct dbpath works:
`ID="$(podman create registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi:latest)" && DIR="$(podman mount $ID)" && rpm --root "$DIR" --dbpath=/var/lib/rpm -q bash && podman rm -f "$ID"` returns `bash-4.4.20-4.el8_6.x86_64` when run on my fedora 38 system.
