In answer to my own question, this is what I have done which appears to fix the problem:
- Edit /usr/lib/rpm/macros and change the line
%__dbi_rebuild nofsync !log !txn !cdb to %__dbi_rebuild nofsync !log !txn !cdb !thread 2. export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 3. rpm --rebuilddb 4. unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 5. Edit /usr/lib/rpm/macros back to the original 6. rpm --rebuilddb
So far this fixes the problems I have been having. I assume it is possible to override the macro setting on the rpm command line so no editing is required and a simple script can be run on all my machines.
I use the --define switch to define rpm variables with rpmbuild ... don't know if it will work with RPM too, but it might. Here is an example:
--define "_build i386-redhat-linux-gnu"
