RPM database is inconsistent when a running instance of zypper was interrupted.

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

[OS Version]: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 (x86_64)
[Software Version]: libzypp-9.38.8-0.7.1
zypper-1.6.327-9.9
rpm-4.4.2.3-37.56.1
rpm-python-4.4.2.3-37.46.7

[Steps of reproduce]:

  1. I build a custom RPM package, then build a zypper repo.
    custom RPM name: upg-client-1.0.0-1.x86_64
    zypper repo: zypper ar file:///usr/src/packages/RPMS/ myrepo
    zypper refresh

  2. Write two Bash scripts for testing (contexts of these scripts shown in “Additional Information”), one for installing upg-client RPM and another for reproduce this problem.

  3. Run installing script, then run reproduce script. When the installing script is stopped, we can see that “rpm -qa upg-client” and “rpm -q upg-client” is inconsistent.
