 It looks like this might be a bug, but nobody noticed because nothing
uses PackageSack directly (things either inherit from it, or use
ListPackageSack).

 Not really sure what you mean here ... you can create a yumbase with
an empty rpmdb (or, even, a "fake" one), and you can tweak the
arch/releasever/etc. ... but you have to have something.
