 I was investigate installworld.sh and I not found where rpm upgrade
 performed :(

 1) Because it is not CDROM, my system's rpm is used (3.0.6 of course)
 2) in middle of script
================================
  log "Rebuilding RPM database"
  $RPMD $RPM_FLAGS --root $ROOT --rebuilddb || exit 1
  NEED_FAKE=yes
================================
  we rebuild database, but because using my system's rpm, database
  upgrade is not performed.
  I not found any other command, that can be interpret as database
  upgrade :(
