**Describe the bug**
Hi team,
I'm working on a Centos 7 Docker container which brings RPM version `4.11.3`.
I'm able to cover the required deps and install the `4.18.2` version, but I can
not migrate the native rpm db to the installed one and the newer version never
knows about the already installed packages.
**To Reproduce**
* Steps to reproduce the behavior:
On a Centos 7 host, install the RPM `4.18.2` with the following command
(_having the required deps covered_):
```command
git clone https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm.git --branch
rpm-4.18.2-release --single-branch && \
cd rpm && ./autogen.sh && make -j$(nproc) && make install && cd / && rm -rf
rpm*
```
Then I try to migrate the installed packages information with the native RPM
version as follows:
```command
mkdir -p /usr/local/var/lib/rpm && cp /var/lib/rpm/Packages
/usr/local/var/lib/rpm/Packages && \
/usr/local/bin/rpm --rebuilddb
```
But when querying the installed packages list, it seems to not be updated:
```command
[root@a0607f3a3f16 /]# /usr/local/bin/rpm --version
RPM version 4.18.2
[root@a0607f3a3f16 /]# /usr/local/bin/rpm -qa
```
**Expected behavior**
This procedure has been working for me if the new installed RPM version was the
`4.15.1`. With this version the packages list is upgraded and the new version
knows the previously installed packages.
Is it expected to not work with the newer mentioned version?
