It couldn't be guaranteed to work in the case that the buildroot was
populated using a different version of rpm that used a different
version of libdb. That's not an issue that crops up much these days as
libdb hasn't been version-updated for years (due to licensing issues
IIRC) and mock with bootstrap mode enabled would populate the buildroot
using the target's version of rpm anyway these days.
