-Subject: [PATCH] Add /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.rpm-ostree to set %_dbpath
- to /usr/share/rpm
-
-We trigger a librpm macro file load in many of our paths. Since the
-default value shipped by rpm's macro file sets `_dbpath` to
-`/var/lib/rpm`, we have to explicitly set that back to `/usr/share/rpm`
-in those paths.
-
-This became more problematic recently with libsolv v0.7.17 which fully
-keys off of `_dbpath` to find the rpmdb path to load:
-
-https://github.com/openSUSE/libsolv/commit/04d4d036b275693a23eef75fba634e7cea2f1a6d
-
-And it's not technically wrong; we really should make that macro not
-lie. This is what this patch does by injecting an RPM macro file in our
-composes which sets it to /usr/share/rpm. So then e.g. the `rpm` CLI
-doesn't actually need the `/var/lib/rpm` backcompat link anymore, though
-there's no harm in leaving it.
-
-In the future, we should be able to drop this once we move all of Fedora
-to `/usr/lib/sysimage/rpm` (see
-https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/639).

-Subject: [PATCH] core: Set _dbpath back to /usr/share/rpm after writing rpmdb
-
-We temporarily set the rpmdb path to be an absolute path pointing under
-the tmprootfs when writing the rpmdb. This throws off libsolv 0.7.17,
-which learned to give the `_dbpath` macro precedence on where the rpmdb
-is located:
-
-https://github.com/openSUSE/libsolv/commit/04d4d036b275693a23eef75fba634e7cea2f1a6d
-
-So then the rpmdb sanity-check we do when exiting
-`rpmostree_context_assemble()` breaks because it can't find the expected
-packages.
-
-Because RPM macros are in global state, there's no elegant way of
-setting it just for the rpmdb write operation (short of forking), so
-just fix this by setting `_dbpath` back to the correct value after we're
-done writing the rpmdb.

-Subject: [PATCH] libpriv/rpm-util: Use /usr/share/rpm for base rpmdb query
-
-Follow-up to previous commit: we had another path where we made a
-temporary rootfs and symlinked `/var/lib/rpm` to the base rpmdb. That of
-course broke now that we inject a macro to point the rpmdb to
-`/usr/share/rpm`.
-
-Rework this to use `/usr/share/rpm` since that's our canonical location
-for now, but also add the compat symlinks so that this logic should keep
-working even on trees without the injected macro yet.
