I dont get the rpm db error with the single kernel-soure rpm.
(I suspect the db error only appers with this "strange" rpm
and "enough" (lets say > 1024) update rpms too)

Currently I update only the single rpm, I'm currently
bisecting the kernel-source.spec file. :)

But the funny thing is that the update works without errors
when it comes from the local filesystem, if it comes from http
the error is back.
