Put this under rpm and as a F10Target as I'm not sure whether it would be classed as a blocker and I think its more rpm than yum.

I'm getting a lot of yum/rpm crashes on latest rawhide (as on Nov 13th) on a x86_64 laptop. The root filesystem is running ext4 so I'm not sure if that is causing issues. If I then do a "rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db.00*" it seems to run just fine. I thought that issue was suppose to be fixed. I have had to do a couple of rpm --rebuilddb at times though.
