    Description:


    New rpm versions write the package database entries for
    pubkeys in a slightly different way than the version of
    rpm used in SLE 11 does, this results in rpm writing to
    already freed memory and terminating with a segmentation
    fault.

    This issue may happen when building a SLE 11 image with
    kiwi on a system that uses a new version of rpm.

    This update makes rpm cope with the new entries.
