Hi Axel,

Now I have updated rpm,librpm,popt,rpm-build,rpm-python using a FC1 
/bin/rpm, but when I run "yum list updates" I get:

rpmdb: unable to initialize mutex: Function not implemented
rpmdb: /var/lib/rpm/__db.001: unable to initialize environment lock: Function not implemented
error: db4 error(38) from dbenv->open: Function not implemented
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Function not implemented (38)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

I then inserted "%__dbi_cdb  create cdb private mpool mp_mmapsize=16Mb 
mp_size=1Mb" into /etc/rpm/macros".
That let me do an "rpm --rebuilddb", and *now yum works again*

If I remove /etc/rpm/macros - I'm back with errors again.

I safely leave it to you to figure out *why* :-)

Regards,
Kim.
