[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RPM db does not upgrades when upgrading from `4.11.3` to `4.18.2` (Issue #3420)

[Michael Schroeder]

We removed support for BerkeleyDB in rpm 4.17.0, so your new rpm does not see the old database.

There's still a way to read old databases if you add the `--enable-bdb-ro` option to the `autogen.sh` call. But the new rpm cannot modify the database. The idea is that you use `rpm --rebuilddb` to convert to a supported database format (i.e. sqlite).
