Because today is feature freeze, and I'm not going to introduce a new BerkleyDB
version on the day of feature freeze.  The only thing I can test on is RPM --
and there may be other users.

The patch was done as a single unit specifically so when DB-6.1 is introduced,
it's VERY simple to remove.

There were two issues affecting image generation.  One was an upgrade of the rpm
python module broke the PACKAGEORIGIN support we rely on.  The other was a
processing issue in the package_manager.py.  It was splitting on '|', and if any
of the lines came back as warnings (say from BerkleyDB) it would fall over.

Both of the issues were addressed in this set.
