## Observation
https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/osd-deployment/-/jobs/845929#L609 shows what looks like an rpm database problem:
```
( 9/12) Installing: libvirglrenderer0-0.6.0-4.9.1.aarch64 [.......
error: db4 error(-30986) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found

## Suggestions
* I think we already try to prune the rpm database if installation fails on a machine. Maybe we can extend that approach to cover such cases like the above as well. The existing recovery happens in https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/osd-deployment/-/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml#L230 but only if we find the string "inconsistent rpm database" in the zypper log and only on zypper refresh. I suggest to take a look into the machine, try to reproduce if it can be reproduced, take look into the zypper log and also research in web and bugzilla.opensuse.org if the problem is known.
