See <https://lwn.net/Articles/881107/> for discussion of changes to the location of the database. Recent fedora versions have a symbolic link /var/lib/rpm -> ../../usr/lib/sysimage/rpm There should be rpmdb.sqlite, rpmdb.sqlite-shm, rpmdb.sqlite-wal Issues like out-of space may prevent saving the new rpmdb files -- you get stale .lock files and files of size 0. -- George N.
