It turns out that I just have to
mkdir -p /var/lib/rpm
Actually you have to tell rpm where the rpmdb to use is,
(--dbpath).
Well --root /mnt/sysimage does that but it seems the transaction lock
code in rpm doesn't pay attention and is using /var/lib/rpm regardless.
The version of rpm on the CD doesn't even recognize the --dbpath option
and in any case there would be no rpm database at /var/lib/rpm for it to
use. Creating the directory just gives the transaction-lock code a place
to put the lock.
