Hi,

We upgraded the system from oslevel 7100-04-04 to 7100-05-02 and found new db files created under /opt/freeware/packages/.

/opt/freeware/packages/__db.001
/opt/freeware/packages/__db.002
/opt/freeware/packages/__db.003
/opt/freeware/packages/__db.004

These files were not present in aix level 7100-04-04.

Please confirm if the creation of db files under /opt/freeware/packages is introduced from rpm.rte version 4.x.x.x

Regards,

Siddiq

Newer version of rpm doesn't understand older db1 format files .rpm.

Thanks,
