You're quite correct here, but please look that before "rpm --rebuilddb", we
are extracting all necessary things from rpm-* and popt-* and configuring them
in the setup_rpm() function. And we are not relaying on system's rpm at all.
If you want to upgrade your rpm db1 database to db3 version. You have to run all commands from setup_rpm() function to prepare RPM environment and, after that, run $RPMD $RPM_FLAGS --root $ROOT --rebuilddb (you have to substitute all variables with real values from the instalworld.sh.
But it's much easier to download binary distribution (it's only 90Mbytes) and
run make installworld :)
