Trying to verify the interoperability of the two rpm-executables on this
Linux system:

        root@ws-testjw:~ (438) /bin/rpm -qf /lib/libc.so.6
        glibc-2.5-42
        root@ws-testjw:~ (439) /opt/bin/rpm -q -f /lib/libc.so.6
        file /lib/libc.so.6 is not owned by any package
        root@ws-testjw:~ (440) /opt/bin/rpm --dbpath /var/lib/rpm -qf \
                /lib/libc.so.6
        failed to open //var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm

Something is wrong... /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm exists and is 8-bytes in
size:

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8 Dec  2 18:05 /var/pkg/lib/rpm/packages.rpm
