Confirmed here as well with the default configuration when rpm runs as root with HOME undefined. This is due to the change in 4.11.2-1 that attempted to fix the problem with /.rpmdb, but apparently ~ as a fallback is not doing what it was meant to do. You might also be interested in #741399 I just reported, based on findings from Ubuntu bug #1069350, requesting dkms to avoid calling rpm which should prevent creation of these directories. This interaction between dkms and rpm appears to be the primary cause. Do you have dkms built kernel modules on your system? -- mike
