That only removes the problems of lockfiles (__*) being left lying around,
it doesn't solve the underlying problems of rpm hanging and subsequent
rpm database corruption.

The good news is, that for me at least, the backport of rpm available from
<http://www.rpm.org> works fine. As alluded to in the above Bugzilla report,
it's highly annoying that an official erratum hasn't been issued. :-C
