Doru,
In the future, please post to cygwin@cygwin.com instead of sending
private email so others can benefit too.

Sorry, but I have only used my Cygwin rpm port in a very casual way.
Actually, I have only "viewed" RPMs with it -- I never installed any
packages with it.
Anyway, the following is the output for the same command sequence in your
email to the RPM list:
$ rpm --version
RPM version 4.0.2
$ rpm -qa
$ rpm -qa
$ rpm -q less
error: cannot open Name index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
package less is not installed
$ rpm -q -i less
error: cannot open Name index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
package less is not installed
$ rpm -q --info less
error: cannot open Name index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
package less is not installed
Hence, my port seems to handle -qa and -qi or not having anything
installed is masking problems.
