Tracker: rpm DB backend change

[imcleod]

After much delay, I'm creating a tracker issue for the upcoming change in the RPM database backend. Reference to their upstream PR: rpm-software-management/rpm#899

It's unclear to me how this might affect rpm-ostree based systems.

One fallout of this was https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1838691.

what's the plans with this one?

@nullr0ute See coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker#623. For now, we're making use of rpmdb: bdb as added in #2221. If you don't have update barriers, you probably want to stick with bdb for a while (maybe a whole Fedora release) as well to allow nodes to transition smoothly.

Going to close this one since I think this is handled at the rpm-ostree level now. We can chat about OS-level policies around this in the appropriate trackers.
