Re: [Libguestfs] [supermin PATCH] rpm: check for SQLite-based RPM DB

Fedora 33 switched the DB of RPM to SQLite, so no more Packages/Name/etc files. Because any missing file exception is ignored when checking for --if-newer, the lack of the Package files was not properly noticed, so the appliance was always considered out out date. Check for the SQLite-based DB first, falling back to the old format.
