+commit 36f6874fcf5222f4553fb5b7782af18c7b6ea92a
+Author: Panu Matilainen <pmatilai@redhat.com>

+
+    Only muck with signals on first and last db open/close
+    - Signals are per-process global, as long as there are other
+      databases open (or references to the same db) we shouldn't mess
+      with them. Less important on open, but if somebody is changing
+      rpmsq-handling we shouldn't override that either.
+    (cherry picked from commit dcf650f5a73846773c7b81de08e2608391f733b8)
